華英通語集典 Huaying tongyu jiquan (A Collection of Common Phrases in Chinese and English)
Ashfield & District Historical Society (NSW) holds a book of which the title page, below, is Huaying tongyu jiquan 華英通語集典 (A Collection of Common Phrases in Chinese and English), printed in the Jiashen year of the Guangxu reign (1884) in Hong Kong, by Wenyu tang 文裕堂. It is indicated that it is a “revised edition” (重訂). Neither an original of that title or this revised edition have at present been identified in any library. It is fortunate that there is some knowledge of the copy’s provenance, since the (back?) cover is inscribed “Alf Hughes/From his employer/Quong Tart/City.” Quong Tart (or Moy Quong Tart) was the Anglicised name of a prominent Ashfield citizen (pinyin Mei Guangda 梅光達). At present nothing more is known of Hughes, or why Mei would present him with this phrasebook.
