Edward Charles MacIntosh Bowra (1841–1874) was a British citizen serving in the Chinese Maritime Customs working for the government of the Qing dynasty. He was among those treaty port residents who contributed to Western knowledge of China through translations and scientific work. ==Career== As an amateur Sinologist and botanist he showed a range of scholarly and practical interests which reflected the then common view that a cultivated gentleman could master Oriental culture. He published a history of the province of Canton,〔E. C. Bowra ''The China Magazine'' (Hong Kong: Noronha & Sons, 1868-1870)〕 and compiled ''Index Sinice et Latine'' for Justus Doolittle's (''Vocabulary and Handbook of the Chinese Language'' ) (1872).,〔( ''Dictionary of British and Irish botanists and horticulturists'' )〕 but his most widely known accomplishment was a pioneering translation of the first eight chapters of Dream of the Red Chamber in 1868.〔University of Virginia Chinese Text Initiative (This etext contains only the Preface and Chapter 1) ()〕 Bowra was educated at the City of London College, then served in the London Custom House before he went to Italy to join the British Legion in support of Red Shirts of Giuseppe Garibaldi in their campaign for Italian unity.
