Eminent Chinese of the Ch'ing period, 1644-1912
"The two volumes consist of approximately 1,100 pages, including some 800 biographical sketches on leading figures of China's Qing Dynasty (1644-1912). The articles cover Han Chinese, Manchu, Mongol, and other Inner Asian figures, as well as some Europeans associated with China. Each article includes a short list of sources and secondary scholarship. There are three indices--personal name, book names, and subjects. As a widely acknowledged reference publication, the dictionary has been praised for its genuine scholarship, wide range of events covered, intimate accounts of leading events, and the voluminous amounts of Chinese source materials employed."--Gale Primary Sources website, viewed July 22, 2025
