Download or read book Nemesis written by Adrian G. Marshall and published by NUS Press. This book was released on 2015-10-23 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nemesis was the first of a generation of iron-clad, steam-powered naval vessels that established British dominance in Asian waters in the nineteenth century. The world’s first iron warship, the first vessel with truly watertight compartments, and the first iron vessel to round the Cape of Good Hope, Nemesis represented a staggering superiority over the oar- and sail-powered naval forces of Britain’s Asian rivals. Yet strangely her story has never been told to modern audiences, and her origins and actions have until now been shrouded in mystery. This lively narrative places her in the historical context of the last years of the East India Company, and in the history of steam power and iron ships. It tells of her exploits in the First Opium War, in pirate suppression and naval actions across Asia, from Bombay to Burma to the Yangtze River and beyond.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Western evangelists have long been fascinated by China, a vast mission field with a unique language and culture. One of the most intrigued was also one of the most intriguing: Karl F. A. Gützlaff (1803-1851). In this erudite study Jessie Gregory Lutz chronicles Gützlaff's life from his youth in Germany to his conversion and subsequent turn to missions to his turbulent time in Asia. Lutz also includes a substantial bibliography consisting of (1) archival sources, (2) selected books, pamphlets, tracts, and translations by Gützlaff, and (3) books, periodicals, and articles. This is truly an important reference for any student of the history of China or missions.

Book excerpt: After marriage, Lady Sarah finds that her husband, instead of the "bright, highly gifted"man who had won her hand, was, in fact, a "narrow minded bigot, the abject slave of the [Jesuit] community". Her strongest feeling after he died, was one of happiness and relief. Subsequently, the daughter of Lady Sarah, Juliana de Morley, inherits a large estate from her parents. Soon a handsome and fascinating man, Edward Stormont, appears on the scene. He is, in fact, Father Eustace and has been commissioned to woo Juliana into Catholicism and then to convince her give her estates to the Jesuits. Unfortunately for the scheme, the two fall in love. At last, "Edward" reveals to his love that he is, in fact, a Jesuit, and returns to Rome. Juliana recovers and lives, single, to an old age, leaving her property to a half brother. Before she dies, an old beggar approaches her. Eustace has renounced the Jesuits and returned to England, but dies at her feet.
