寧波最早的近代中文報刊「中外新報」（1854－1861）原件及其日本版之考究

Research on the Earliest Modern Chinese Periodical Press in Ningbo: The Chinese and Foreign Gazette (1854-1861) and Its Japanese Edition

《中外新報》（1854－1861）是中國寧波最早的一家中文報刊，創刊於1854年，比香港最早的中文報刊《遐邇貫珍》（1853－1856）僅晚九個月，比起上海最早的中文報刊《六合叢談》（1857－1858）還早了兩年又七個月。論其出版期間，則遠比這兩家著名月刊為長。儘管如此，報史學者對於《中外新報》知之不多。本論文嘗試根據現存《中外新報》之原件、江戶時期日本官方刪定的《官板中外新報》及當時日本知識界流傳的手抄本等，對《中外新報》創刊、閉刊日期、版式及其內容的特徵進行一番考究和梳理。

Chinese and Foreign Gazette (1854-1861), established in 1854, is the earliest Chinese periodical press in Ningbo, appearing only nine months later than The Chinese Serial (1853-1856)-the earliest Chinese monthly in Hongkong, and two years and seven months earlier than Shanghai Serial (1857-1858)-the earliest Chinese monthly in Shanghai. In addition, its duration of publication is far longer than those two famous periodical. However, very little has been written by historian about the Chinese and Foreign Gazette. This article attempts to find out the accurate date of its establishment and its close, the format of the press and the characteristics of its contents, according to the existing materials: (1) the original paper; (2) the Kanpan Chugai Shinpo, re-edited by the Japanese officials from the Chinese and Foreign Gazette, and the manuscripts of the same press circled around the Japanese intellectuals in Ido Period.
