| Abstract | This paper is a continuation of the author’s study of Benjamin Bowen Carter (1771-1831), a native of Providence, Rhode Island, who was one of the few Americans to live in Canton (now Guangzhou) at the beginning of the nineteenth century and to feel the need to learn Chinese. Carter’s copy of the Chinese Grammar, dated 1806, now deposited in the US Library of Congress and containing his inscriptions in ink, is an abridged version of French scholar Étienne Fourmont’s (1683-1745) Meditationes Sinicae and Lingua Sinarum Mandarinicae Hieroglyphicae Grammatica Duplex. Also analyzing other manuscripts and documents owned by Carter, the current paper draws a fuller picture of his study of the Chinese language during his stay in Canton, as well as his communications with his contemporaries regarding his interest in China affairs. |
