Driven by his intense interest in China, Fryer came to+ `. J" r- x# x( I
Hong Kong in the year of 1861 to serve as the dean of

Namely, sitting with his Chinese assistant, Fryer dictated

Fryer translated more than one hundred of Western, ]( b+ k" `5 x8 Z4 k
books that made him the most productive one among the% N s$ V% u+ f- Y. T6 z
