As a guide for the book exhibition held on March
15-17, 2007, entitled “A Bridge Between Two Cultures: Commemorating
the Two-Hundredth Anniversary of the Life and Work of Robert
Morrison,” Dr. Mi Chu and Prof. Man Shun Yeung, with the
assistance of Ariele Bernard, compiled an annotated catalog of
many rare books by Morrison himself from the Library’s
Gamble, Probsthain and Cushing Collections and works by Morrison’s
contemporaries. The publishing of this catalog was made possible
through the generous support of Thomson Gale, a world leader
in e-research and educational publishing for libraries, schools
and businesses. Each entry includes a brief description of the
work, complete bibliographic information, a photograph of the
title page and the location of this book within the Library.
This catalog features Morrison’s own works from the Gamble,
Probsthain and Cushing Collections. As a preface to each collection,
a brief history of acquisition and summary of the titles within
the individual collections is included.
