"Daniel Jerome Macgowan (1814–1893), a medical missionary sent to China by the American Baptists, reached Ningbo in 1843 and opened a dispensary that November, practising medicine while often preaching to the Chinese. In Ningbo he wrote the Bowu Tongshu (1851), a treatise on the solar eclipse (1852) and a manual of navigation (1853), and in 1854 founded the Zhongwai Xinbao newspaper. He died in Shanghai in 1893; The New York Times called him one of the oldest residents of Shanghai."
