Memoir of a Scottish Surgeon in China and Li Hung Chang's Secretary
A concise life story of Macartney, a Scottish descendant and medical student turned Anglo Chinese official. From Crimea to China, he resigns to serve as a forties era soldier of fortune, builds an arsenal, forges ties with Li Hung Chang and Gordon, and becomes secretary to the Chinese legation. The memoir covers his China years, his role in pacifying tensions, and letters illustrating cross cultural views.

Spirit in Prison and Other Novels Review
A critical survey of new titles by Hichens Barnes-Grundy and James Smith. Hichens’s Spirit in Prison is found tedious and verbose, though Hermione Delarey and Ruffo figure in a melodrama of confinement. Barnes-Grundy’s Hilary on Her Own treats a spirited London bound heroine with light charm and modest wit. Smith’s Amédée’s Son offers a gentle Cape Breton idyll focused on family, sea life, and warm, likable characters.
