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
Sir John Bowring was the fourth Governor of Hong Kong (1854-1859).
Sir William Robinson - Governor of HK 1891-1898
At a time when Sir Paul Chater was at the pinnacle of his career and was as fully focused on the development of, and the continuation of the growth process that Hong Kong was undergoing, due, in no small part to both of these men. Sir William, perhaps not as popular as previous Governors of the Colony, nor indeed as Sir Paul himself, but nonetheless his time and presence in Hong Kong was clearly appreciated by the Chinese community.
