Martin was born in Livonia, Indiana.[2] He graduated from Indiana University in 1846, known at that time as Indiana College, and then studied theology at the Presbyterian seminary, New Albany, Indiana.[3] In 1850 Martin arrived in Ningbo, Zhejiang, China, where he worked for the next ten years. Martin served as interpreter for the United States minister William B. Reed, in negotiating the treaty of Treaty of Tientsin in 1858 with China, and in 1859 traveled with his successor, John Elliot Ward, to Beijing and to Edo, Japan. From 1863 till 1868, he worked at Beijing, often as official interpreter for the American Minister to China, Anson Burlingame. He was reputed to be the first foreigner to make the journey from Beijing to Shanghai on the Grand Canal of China, and described the trip in the "Journal of the Asiatic Society" (1866). In 1869, Martin became president of the Tongwenguan in Beijing until 1895, and a professor of international law.[4] He acted as an adviser of Chinese officials on questions of international law when disputes arose with European powers, notably during the conflict with France in 1884-1885. In the same year he was made a mandarin of the third class. Martin received the degree of D.D. from Lafayette College in 1860, and that of LL. D. from the University of the city of New York in 1870.

China Is The Theatre Of The Greatest Movement Now Taking Place On The Face Of The Globe. In Comparison With It, The Agitation In Russia Shrinks To Insignificance; For It Is Not Political, But Social. Its Object Is Not A Changed Dynasty, Nor A Revolution In The Form Of Government; But, With Higher Aim And Deeper Motive, It Promises Nothing Short Of The Complete Renovation Of The Oldest, Most Populous, And Most Conservative Of Empires. Is There A People In Either Hemisphere That Can Afford To Look On With Indifference? When, Some Thirty Years Ago, Japan Adopted The Outward Forms Of Western Civilisation, Her Action Was Regarded By Many As A Stage Trick--A Sort Of Travesty Employed For A Temporary Purpose. But What Do They Think Now, When They See Cabinets And Chambers Of Commerce Compelled To Reckon With The British Of The North Pacific? The Awakening Of Japan'S Huge Neighbour Promises To Yield Results Equally Startling And On A Vastly Extended Scale. [mehr]

Until Recently We Were Dependent For The Beginnings Of Chinese History On The Written Chinese Tradition. According To These Sources China's History Began Either About 4000 B.C. Or About 2700 B.C. With A Succession Of Wise Emperors Who "Invented" The Elements Of A Civilization, Such As Clothing, The Preparation Of Food, Marriage, And A State System; They Instructed Their People In These Things, And So Brought China, As Early As In The Third Millennium B.C., To An Astonishingly High Cultural Level. However, All We Know Of The Origin Of Civilizations Makes This Of Itself Entirely Improbable; No Other Civilization In The World Originated In Any Such Way. As Time Went On, Chinese Historians Found More And More To Say About Primeval Times. All These Narratives Were Collected In The Great Imperial History That Appeared At The Beginning Of The Manchu Epoch. That Book Was Translated Into French, And All The Works Written In Western Languages Until Recent Years On Chinese History And Civilization Have Been Based In The Last Resort On That Translation.
