上海的英国商人 Hogg Brothers
||
The firm Hogg Brothers was active in the manufacture and trade of silk from 1860 until 1899, at Shanghai. The brothers included Alfred G. Hogg, James Hogg, and Edward Jenner Hogg. Edward Jenner Hogg is described as "the doyen of foreign residents in Shanghai ... [haven] taken, indirectly, a larger share than any other man in the work of developing the Settlement ...
Born in Cheshire in 1838, Mr. Jenner Hogg was educated privately and came to Shanghai as early as 1857 to join the old firm of Lindsay & Co., which had been established many years previously by former servants of the East India Company. He remained with the firm, in which his brother was a partner, until 1860, when he and his brother commenced trading together on their own account ..." (see: Wright, Arnold. Twentieth-century impressions of Hongkong, Shanghai, and other treaty ports of China, 1908, pages 515-518). Edward Jenner and his
brother James also served as Italian consul in Shanghai.
