This was Dr. Gutzlaff, who was a missionary until the war broke out between China' and Britain, and who then became interpreter and wns a member of the suite which ac- companied Capt. Elliott to. Canton in 1837. It was said of him that "no foreigner of the age had more thoroughly Identified himself with the Chinese people, their Iltera- ture, religion, government, history and social and domes- tie habits." He was at one time a Magistrate at Ningpo` and afterwards at Chusan.
