Shanghai - An application has been made to JB for him to help translate WW's Treatise on Mechanics into Chinese. He personally could not comply with their wishes but recognises the need to enlighten the Chinese mind. JB has asked Mr Edkins - 'one of the intelligent and instructed among the Missionaries to give us some account of his project'. Could WW originate a subscription for this purpose [WW's Elementary Treatise on Mechanics translated into Chinese in 1867 by J. Edkins and Le Shen-laa].
