Horatio Gay James (Jardine, Matheson & Co.); <br />The firm of Jardine, Matheson and Co. began in Canton, China on 1 July 1832 by University of Edinburgh Medical School graduate William Jardine (1784-1843) and University of Edinburgh graduate James Matheson[6] (1796-1878). With the cession of Hong Kong under the 1842 Treaty of Nanking, the firm set up its headquarters on the island and grew rapidly. Initially trading in opium, tea and cotton, Jardines soon diversified into other areas including insurance, shipping and railways. By the turn of the 19th century, the company had become the largest of the ‘’hongs’’ or foreign trading conglomerates with offices in all the important Chinese cities as well as Yokohama, Japan.[7<br /><br />
