Notes
Exemplary study showing just how much information early records contain - if you can interpret them. The author, Gilbert Ernest Hubbard (1885-1951) spent forty years of active service in diplomatic and consular posts in the Levant and Far East, publishing a number of books on Asian international affairs, before he became involved in local history matters.
