  There are only two extant copies of Reminiscences of Western Travels (西海紀遊草 Xi hai ji you cao), written by an early Chinese traveler to the United States in 1849. One is in private hands in China; it was discovered by Yang Guo Zhen* in 1980. The other is housed in the New York Public Library. There are significant differences between the two. The former was the source of the 1985 revised edition, published in China. My eBook, however, is based on the latter.

  
  
  
  
   

  一位早期遠赴美國遊歷的華人，於1849年著述的《西海紀遊草》[Reminiscences of Western Travels]， 現今碩果僅存兩個珍本。其中一本 (左圖 ←)，為中國私人收藏, 於1980年被楊國楨*發現；另一本 (右圖→)，是紐約公共圖書館的藏書。兩書之間，有顯著 差別。中國岳麓書社於1985年出版的校訂本，是跟據前者編撰，而我的電子書內容則以 後者為藍本編寫。

  Thank you for visiting my online project on a rare book, 西海紀遊草 Reminiscences of Western Travels, written by a Chinese traveler to America in 1849. This project builds on my other eBook in Project Gutenberg, which I completed in March 2017. Project Gutenberg is a very good platform for preserving old books, but there were many things I couldn't do for my eBook there because of their limitations. That's why I am now constructing this site.

  But I need more time. When finished, this site will consist of the full text of 西海紀遊草 Reminiscences of Western Travels. It will also contain relevant American press reports of the time. The layout will be very different from my eBook in Project Gutenberg.

  It is quite a challenge to build this site. For the Project Gutenberg eBook, I wrote the html and css codes. But this site demands a different set of skills and attention as I have to use tools provided by Scalar. You are welcome to provide comments either on the eBook on Project Gutenberg or on this eBook on Scalar.

  Please click Contents at the end of each page to continue reading. You may also see the "Table of Contents"  icon on the top left corner to navigate.

  As I will continue to add contents, please come back. Thanks for your patience.
