‘This is a valuable book. Brewitt-Taylor is an interesting subject for three reasons: he had a distinguished career in the Chinese customs service, an important institution that mediated China’s relationship with the outside world; he undertook the first quality translation of an important traditional Chinese novel, which made him an important interpreter of Chinese culture in the west; his family life gives us insight into the experiences of those Britons who went abroad in the Victorian and Edwardian ages. While B-T himself remains an elusive personality, through the author’s judicious analysis gradually a sense of the man and his world emerges.’ — Professor Richard Horowitz, California State University, Northridge
