Extensive searches of scholarly catalogs, Open Library, and Google Books yielded no results for an English translation of Wei Yuan's 'Haiguo Tuzhi' (Illustrated Gazetteer of the Maritime Kingdoms). While metadata suggests that excerpts and partial translations exist within scholarly anthologies (such as those by Fairbank or de Bary) and academic monographs (Leonard, Drake), no standalone or complete English translation of this massive 100-scroll work has ever been published. Therefore, a translation of this text would constitute a first English edition.
