Dear Gwulo Friends
I am writing a biography of Sir Cecil Clementi （金文泰) to be published by Hong Kong University Press.
I would be interested in hearing from anyone who cares to share information, documentation, photographs, comment or opinion on the subject of Sir Cecil, his life and times.
Please feel free to contact me on grahamdhutchings@gmail.com
With thanks and regards
Graham

Clementi Smith
I think I can help. He is a distant relative. Have some info on him and will ransack the records tonight to see
Cecil Clementi （金文泰）
That would be marvellous - many thanks.
I look forward to hearing from you.

sinologist
Not only could speak Cantonese, he was a sinologist. These 4 Chinese characters 香海名山 on the archway of Tsing Shan Monastery 青山禪院 show his chops in Chinese calligraphy.
1911
金文泰
Many thanks for these latest postings, Kevin.
Yes， he was a very able 漢學家。
Perhaps the best evidence of this is his translation (with a scholarly introduction) of what he called Cantonese Love Songs ，the 粵歐 by 炤子庸。 （Oxford: Clarendon Press. 2 Volumes, 1904)
Please do keep me informed of any ideas or documents or photographs you have about 金文泰。
I value your support.
感恩

It was founded in 1926. Originally named Government Vernacular Middle School (官立漢文中學). It was renamed in 1951 as Clementi Secondary School.
