John Fryer (1839-1928) was an English missionary and. p N6 w" ~4 v9 T
a great translator in the late Qing dynasty (1840-1912).

Hong Kong in the year of 1861 to serve as the dean of- l4 m6 z8 i5 ~1 G: P
St. Paul’s College. And in 1868, Fryer was employed$ r! h9 B7 }; r: L
by The Translation Department of Kiangnan Arsenal as

his job, with the help of his colleague Xu Shou (1818-
; ?; O% b' t$ z$ l2 b1884), Fryer translated a great deal of Western scientific

Fryer adopted the Buddhist technique of oral instruction.

books that made him the most productive one among the

translating Western scientific books into Chinese was a1 v6 j( A/ M+ J( j" t5 T1 J

In addition to his achievements in translation, Fryer

science and the standardization of translated scientific
