Shanghai in late 1843.
J.H. HAAN
Apart from general missionary duties he was mainly active as a printer and in this capacity he issued numerous tracts in several Oriental languages.
Up to 1854 he was a vocal critic of the Committee of Roads and Jetties (the forerunner of the Municipal Council), especially with respect to the taxes it levied. A number of times he refused to pay them, among other reasons because he thought not enough was done to lay out a proper road to the L.M.S. compound. Trustee of the Shantung Road Cemetery. Portrait.1 Author of many works in English, Chinese and Ma-
lay.
Medhurst Road was named after him and his son, W.H. Medhurst Jr., British Consul.
