John Fryer (1839-1928) was an English missionary and

Driven by his intense interest in China, Fryer came to

! P' Q& j: v; ?% F* H$ _St. Paul’s College. And in 1868, Fryer was employed4 R6 u5 p& ?2 h4 b
by The Translation Department of Kiangnan Arsenal as

works and illustrated his translation ideas. As a foreigner,6 X1 F" o( m, H5 @
Fryer adopted the Buddhist technique of oral instruction.# R9 C% D: l6 m9 `& T0 Y
Namely, sitting with his Chinese assistant, Fryer dictated# A/ {3 m0 h9 l$ X% d) f4 r3 b1 L

would transcribe what Fryer said into literary Chinese,

Fryer translated more than one hundred of Western
