Philip JACKS [1877-1941]

Submitted by rohanprice on Mon, 10/24/2016 - 17:57

I am a legal historian who is interested in the relationships between British colonial property law and Chinese nationalism. I began my archival work on this topic in 2008-10 when I was a CityU of HK visiting professor in the School of Law teaching trusts and common law method. The role of Jacks as Land Officer in Hong Kong (1905-1935) fascinated me so much that it formed two chapters of my PhD thesis.

Hi Everyone 

I have written the biography of Hong Kong Land Officer Philip Jacks (1877-1941). My book is to be published in late February by Australian Scholarly Publishing. I have two photos of Philip Jacks but would very much appreciate a picture of his wife Edith (nee Edith Elliot Kirkpatrick Picard) or any of the Jacks children--Harold, Mary or Audrey. 

If you know of any photos please get in contact with me: rohan.price@utas.edu.au

 

All the best, Rohan
