Contact seller5-star sellerCondition: Overall very good plus. A guide compiled by immigration officer John Endicott Gardner for converting between the Gregorian and traditional Chinese calendars for Gregorian years 1849 to 1914. Per the preface, the guide would be useful both for "Government officials charged with the duties of enforcing the Chinese exclu…sion act"including Gardner, who was a Chinese Inspector and Interpreter for the Immigration Serviceand "attorneys appearing on behalf of Chinese applicants for admission into the United States." Each page shows the conversions for one year, with the Chinese calendar in black and the Gregorian in red ink. The previous owner has also marked each year in Hanzi in the corner of each page; corrected Kwong Sui 35th through 40th to Suan Tung (Xuantong) 13 and Chinese Republic 13; and began, on a blank page, a conversion table for 1915 or Chinese Republic 4th. We find three copies of this booklet on OCLC. Seventy-four page booklet measuring 4 ½ x 5 ¼ inches. Damage to wraps with one detached; inside with manuscript (Chinese) markings.

Condition: Very good. 8¼" x 5¼". Printed wrappers, cloth tape to spine. Pp. [6], 100, [1, appendix]. Very good: wrappers lightly scuffed with a corner crease to rear; spine tips frayed; chips to edges of a few leaves, not affecting any content; penciled date to top edge of title; the rare faint crease or spot; lightly toned. Thi…s is a bilingual tabular guide to converting between the Gregorian and the traditional Chinese sexagenary calendar, published at a time of rising relations between China and the United States. The book's compiler, John Endicott Gardner, was born in 1863 in Canton, China to a white American man and a half-Chinese woman. In 1882 he moved to San Francisco, where he served as an interpreter and immigration inspector at Angel Island and as a professor of Chinese language at the University of California. Per this book's preface, Gardner had responded to an "urgent request" for a conversion reference for use by immigration agents, first compiling 50- and 77-year guides, which soon proved their commercial worth. He expanded his work into this 100-year guide to aid American and European merchants, "court officials," students "and in fact Chinese of every profession who may have occasion to convert any date in their calendar into the corresponding American date or vice versa." Gardner shared that "great pains" had been taken to ensure "a vast improvement upon its predecessors, especially in that it is printed in the two languages, distinguished by as many colors," and vowed that "the work is sent out to the world without a single error." OCLC shows only two holdings.

Contact seller5-star sellerFirst Edition. First edition, 8¼" x 5¼", pp. [8], 100, [4]; text in English and Chinese, printed in black and red; red printed paper wrappers backed in red cloth; light creasing to wrappers, else fine. The traditional Chinese calendar operates on a sexagenary cycle and is not easily translated into a Gregorian date. With the inc…rease of trade between China and the west, a handy reference for conversion was essential. The compiler first produced a table for the use of American Immigration agents, then expanded it into this 100-year calendar for the general public. Newberry and Huntington only in OCLC.

First edition, first printing, of this guide published in a period of increasing commercial, educational, and cultural exchange between China and the US. The painstakingly compiled tables help merchants, students, and professionals convert between Western dates and the traditional Chinese sexagenary cycle, as well as locate year…s within particular imperial reigns. The author was a professor of Chinese language at the University of California and an immigration inspector in San Francisco. He first compiled 50- and 77-year guides for the use of the US immigration and diplomatic services, and the demand for these demonstrated the viability of a commercial publication. "The work now sent out from the press is a vast improvement upon its predecessors, especially in that it is printed in the two languages, distinguished by as many colours" (preface). Octavo. Tables throughout; text partly printed in red. Original wire-stitched red card wrappers, red cloth backstrip, front cover lettered in brown. Wrappers worn and faded, internally clean, small indentation on final few leaves not affecting text. A very good copy.
