Introduction
The English title page for this translation of the Book of Common Prayer into Cantonese notes that it was published in Hong Kong in 1878. The Chinese title page records it as 1877 according to Christian reckoning, and also dates it to the third year of the Guangxu Emperor (Kuang-Hsu in Wade-Giles Romanization), which could be either 1877 or 1878.
Translator Arthur Blockey Hutchinson (1841-1919) was a missionary of the Church Missionary Society who trained at Islington. He served in Hong Kong from 1870-1881, and subsequently at Nagasaki and Fukuoka from 1882 to 1919. He is buried in the Foreigners' Cemetery in Karuizawa.
David Griffiths identifies this text as No. 18:6 in his Bibliography of the Book of Common Prayer 1549-1999 (London: The British Library; New Castle, Delaware: Oak Knoll Press, 2002). It was digitized in 2015 by Richard Mammana from a personal copy.
