国内现存1895年京版《万国公报》原刊件藏品追踪

The Existing 1895 Beijing Version of the "Wan Guo Gazette" Original Publication Collection Tracking

1895年,京版《万国公报》创刊,从8月17日发刊到12月16日改版,该报在北京印行四个月,是晚清维新运动的舆论先导。因机缘巧合,笔者得以见到京沪两地收藏的1895年京版《万国公报》,其中,上海基督教三自爱国会藏品45册,为近代英国来华传教士李提摩太在广学会所藏;北京国家图书馆文津普通古籍阅览室藏品17册,原系晚清收藏家王懿荣当年从京城带回故乡烟台"天壤阁"的藏品。目前,京沪两地现存1895年京版《万国公报》原件一共48册(不含重合项),若本文推测不错,1895年京版《万国公报》应出版到57号、58号或59号、60号,才改版为康有为题写的报名《中外纪闻》,那么,1895年京版《万国公报》原件还有多少册付之阙如?我们多么希望能有一天,这些人们尚未见到的原刊件珍本得以现世。

In 1895,the Beijing version of the“Wan Guo Gazette”was launched.From the publication on August 17 to the revision on December 16,the newspaper was printed in Beijing for four months and was the public opinion leader of the late Qing Dynasty.Due to the coincidence,the author was able to see the 1895 Beijing version of the“Wan Guo Gazette”in Beijing and Shanghai.Among them,the Shanghai Christian Three-Self Patriotic Association has 45 volumes,which was collected by the modern British missionary Timothy Richard in the Guangxue Society;The collection of the Wenjin General Ancient Books Reading Room of the National Library of Beijing is the collection of the late Qing Dynasty collector Wang Yirong who brought him back to his hometown Yantai"Tian Rang Ge"from Beijing.At present,there are a total of 48 original copies of the 1895 Beijing edition of the“Wan Guo Gazette”in Beijing and Shanghai(excluding coincidence).If this article is presumed to be correct,the 1895 Beijing version of the"Wan Guo Gazette"s hould be published to No.57,No.58 or No.59,No.60,and then changed to Kang Youwei’s inscription for"Chinese and Foreign Chronicles."Then,how many copies of the original version of the 1895 Beijing version of the“Wan Guo Gazette”are missing?How much we hope that one day,the original publications that people have not seen will be available to the world.
