INTRODUCTION
* {) v0 N( Q! l' o$ S M SJohn Fryer (1839-1928) was an English missionary and

Hong Kong in the year of 1861 to serve as the dean of

an editor and chief translator. During the 28 years on

4 Y; I; f R" p# Z* F1884), Fryer translated a great deal of Western scientific

to him sentence by sentence, while the Chinese assistant

revise the manuscript and correct errors. By this means, ^% ^ a0 [1 x z7 e
Fryer translated more than one hundred of Western/ P8 j6 o# w+ X
books that made him the most productive one among the9 q+ P( e$ `& g* j# @: T
foreign translators of that time (Wang, 1998). For Fryer,

In addition to his achievements in translation, Fryer
