Abstract

direction. In summary, this is a most welcome collection of articles on Macau’s earliest “real” newspaper and its socio-political “backstage.” Put differently, it is a wellinformed contribution to Macau’s history in the early nineteenth century, and thereby also to the history of Luso-Chinese relations in that period. The questions posed are straightforward and clear, the answers found are based on careful research and equally convincing. As is always the case with collective volumes, there are some printing errors, but that does notmatter verymuch. Readers interested in the history of early European journalism in the Far East and of the political history in the greater area of Central Guangdong and Macau will find this volume very useful.
