O Historiador Ruth Tucker sumariza o tema de sua vida:



Taylor teve a oportunidade de pregar em várias variedades de Chinês, incluindo o Mandarim, Teochew dialeto Chaozhou, e os dialetos Wu do Xangai e Ningbo. O último destes ele conhecia o bastante para ajudar a preparar uma edição coloquial do Novo Testamento escrito nessa língua. Wikipedia
