人境庐馆藏的《万国公报》之价值

On the Value of A Review of the Times Preserved in Renjinglu,the Former Residence of Huang Zunxian

关于上海《万国公报》的研究,台湾比大陆起步早,20世纪60年代华文书局就出版了该报的影印本。而大陆近年来《万国公报》研究虽然极为兴盛,却一直未出版影印本以供研究参考。黄遵宪故居人境庐藏有4册《万国公报》原刊,尽管数量微少,但有其价值在:一是可确证在甲午之前黄遵宪就已经是《万国公报》的读者。二是此4册原刊可补华文书局影印本的几处缺失,给学界提供可资参考的资料。

Scholars in Taiwan took earlier steps to do research on A Review of the Times than in the mainland.In 1960s,the photocopy of this journal was published by Chinese Book Publishing House in Taipei to provide references to researchers.But today in China there is no such photocopy.That preserved four volumes of its original versions in Renjinglu,the former residence of Huang Zunxian.However,this small amount of materials has at least two values.Firstly,Huang Zunxian had been one of the readers of A Review of the Times before the Sino-Japanese War of 1894,which could present a similar picture as Shiwubao and the importance of Mr.Huang displayed in this role.Secondly,the four original versions could make up for the missing parts of the photocopy published by Chinese Book Publishing House,and provide academic circles with a more complete reference.
