　　1866年，一本“遵照伟大的太平天国革命领袖的嘱托而写”的《太平天国革命亲历记》在伦敦出版了，作者A.F.Lindley（呤唎）是一名曾为太平军服务的英国人。

　　在这本书的扉页上，呤唎写道：“献给太平军总司令忠王李秀成——如果他已去世，本书就作为对他的纪念。”

　　就在呤唎写作这本书的时候，天京被湘军攻破，流落于江西、福建、广东等地的太平军余部也都或战死或降敌，天国的历史正在走向尾声，但是呤唎仍然相信：“太平军将会像‘不死之鸟’一样从他们以前的光荣的灰烬中复活起来。”

　　事实证明，这只是呤唎的良好愿望。在《太平天国革命亲历记》一书面世的同时，最后一支坚持作战的太平军在广东被清军击破，至此，除了与捻军合编的赖文光部还在活动外，太平天国最终以失败而告终了。

　　但是，呤唎的天国梦并没有就此结束，他念念不忘作为“洋兄弟”与太平军共同作战的经历，并把“前太平军上校”当成了自己的终身职业。

……

 　　进入太平军辖区后，呤唎经过许多村庄，“全都繁荣兴旺”，盛泽镇留给他的印象尤其深刻，“这里似乎是一个巨大的商务中心……居房达五千户以上，商店鳞次栉比。”太平军对呤唎的态度也都很友好，使呤唎对他们有“一种神秘的同情”，并且“喜欢他们”。

　　想起之前的经历，呤唎觉得“满清奴役下的任何一个中国人的面部都表现了蠢笨、冷淡，没有表情，没有智慧，只有类似半狡猾半恐惧的奴隶态度”；在太平天国区域的人们则正好相反，“整个品格，无论在体质上、道德上，都显出同样惊人的优越性”。

　　在苏州，呤唎见到了忠王李秀成，那时李秀成刚刚从上海撤军，他的部下有数百人死于英军的炮火，他本人的面部也被大炮击伤，但是当他听说呤唎求见时，他就立刻接见，并安排呤唎住在忠王府。

　　会面的过程让呤唎后来一直念念不忘，李秀成从王位上站起来，用英国礼节和呤唎握手，并请呤唎坐在他身旁。呤唎想起那些满清官员，他们之中“最卑鄙的小官吏都是以妄自尊大的侮人态度来对待一切外国人的（除非条约有所规定而受到约束之外）。

　　呤唎和李秀成谈及太平军在上海被英法军队击退的事情，李秀成问呤唎，为何太平天国视欧洲人为“洋兄弟”，英军却要帮“拜偶像”的“满妖”来镇压太平军？呤唎觉得，李秀成不明白英国敌视太平军的真正原因，是英国要使鸦片贸易合法化以及获取其他种种利益，而太平军以砍头来严禁鸦片，“无论这对中国人是多么有利……却是不利于额尔金条约得来的利益、赔款和鸦片贸易的。”

　　临别，呤唎对李秀成说，他自愿加入太平军，李秀成和手下将领稍做沟通，即委派呤唎在太平军内担任一个名誉职位，这样呤唎可以在“在太平天国境内各处来往而不受阻扰。”

　　领到盖有忠王印信的委任状后，呤唎辞别了与他同来苏州的其他人，上了忠王派发给他使用的一只炮艇。在太平军“各首领的祝贺”中，呤唎成为太平军中的一员“洋兄弟”，同时也成为一名英国对华政策的反对者。

　　林德利(F·A·Lindley)英国海军军官。1857年加入英国海军，1859年前往香港服役，次年辞职后前往太平天国控制区经商，曾在上海附近一内河轮船当大副。1861年初，加入太平军，投效太平天国忠王李秀成，为其训练军队，先后率炮队作战，教练太平军操演，为太平天国采购武器和粮食。1863年，林德利参加了九瞭洲要塞保卫战，身受重伤。伤愈后，林德利率数人于同年九月潜入上海，夺取了一艘轮船"飞而复来号"，献给太平军。1864年太平天国起义失败，其回国后，怀着对太平天国的深情，于1866年2月3日出版《太平天国革命亲历记》一书。

　　大型英文丛书《中国之光》收录了亲身经历过中国近现代史的外国人所记录的珍贵史料。丛书由外文出版社和中国国际友人研究会共同出版，共50余册，由众多国际友好人士、外国观察家、外国新闻工作者用英文撰写，包括各种历史著作、人物传记、日记和新闻报道集等。
　　丛书从不同的角度展现出一百多年来中国社会的巨大变化，内容涉及政治、经济、军事、文化以及中国最普通民众的日常生活、心理状态。
　　《中国之光》丛书不但对史沫特莱、海伦·斯诺等著名国际友人的重要著作进行了收录再版，而且对其他一些年代久远甚至已是绝版的珍贵著作也进行再版以飨读者。如林利所著的《太平天国》，是研究19世纪中国社会情况和太平天国运动兴衰的重要史料，也是第一部外国人撰写的太平天国史。
