"Henry Blodget (1825–1903), a missionary of the American Board, came to China in 1854 and moved from Tianjin to Beijing in 1863. In the mid-1860s he joined W. A. P. Martin, John Shaw Burdon, Joseph Edkins and S. I. J. Schereschewsky on the Peking translation committee, rendering the New Testament into Beijing Mandarin; issued in parts over several years, the revised complete New Testament appeared in 1872, the first Bible translation in the spoken vernacular of Beijing. After forty years in China he retired to America in 1894."
