Victor William Williams Saunders Purcell CMG, PhD, Litt.D (Cantab.) (26 January 1896 – 2 January 1965) was a British colonial public servant, historian, poet and Sinologist in Malaya (now Malaysia). After World War I, Purcell pursued his undergraduate study in Cambridge University, studying history at Trinity College. During his service in Malaya he dealt in particular with the role of the local minority Chinese and published on this subject some significant works. In 1926 he spent seven months as District Officer on Christmas Island, Indian Ocean, with wide-ranging but largely undemanding responsibilities in that remote mining community (Magistrate, Assistant District Judge, Port Officer, Port Health Officer, Postal Agent, Assistant Protector of the Chinese plus others). From 1949 he was a lecturer in Far Eastern History at Cambridge University. In 1978 he was honoured by a postage stamp of Christmas Island. ==Bibliography== *Victor Purcell: Early Penang, Penang 1928 *Victor Purcell: The Further Side of No Man’s Land, London 1929 *Victor Purcell: An Index to the Chinese Written Language on a New Non-radical System with Reference to the Dictionaries of Kanghsi and Giles, Singapore 1929 *Victor Purcell: The Spirit of Chinese Poetry, and original essay, Singapore 1929 *Victor Purcell: Problems of Chinese Education, London 1936 *Victor Purcell: The Dog and the Don, Singapore 1938 *Victor Purcell: Chinese Evergreen, the story of a journey across south China, London 1938 *Victor Purcell: Cadmus: The Poet and the World, Melbourne 1944 *Victor Purcell: Malaya: Outline of a Colony, London 1946 *Victor Purcell: The Chinese in Malaya, London 1948; (Chinese translation), Singapore 1950 *Victor Purcell: The Position of the Chinese in Southeast Asia, New York 1950 *Victor Purcell: The Chinese in Southeast Asia, London 1951; 2nd impression 1952; new edition 1964; (Chinese translation), Taipei 1966 *Victor Purcell: The Colonial Period in Southeast Asia, a historical sketch (mimeograph), New York 1953 *Victor Purcell: Malaya: Communist or Free, London 1954 *Victor Purcell: The Chinese in Modern Malaya, Singapore 1956 *Victor Purcell: The Sweeniad, signed Myra Buttle, New York: Sagamore Press, 1957, London 1958.
