| Summary: | In the early 19th century, Robert Morrison and William Milne, the first Protestant missionaries to China, commenced The Ultra-Ganges Missions, formally kicking off the Protestant missions in China and Southeast Asia. The Ultra-Ganges Missions not only marked a major milestone for the early missionary works of Protestantism, but also fueled the rise of Chinese modern press with its China-oriented periodicals such as The Chinese Monthly Magazine and The Indo-Chinese Gleaner. Based on the history of Protestantism in the 18th and 19th centuries, this article examines the origin of The Ultra-Ganges Missions and its periodical publication, in order to provide reference to the studies of Chinese Protestantism and China’s periodical press. |
