NOTES.
​ [The writer regrets his inability to furnish the Chinese characters promised on page 1.—The M.S. of them, besides some lithographed plates and other papers, of which use would have been made in this publication, were lost during the Vandal-like proceedings of the Hongkong Government for what was deemed a libel on its Lieutenant Governor in 1859.]
