THE CHINESE ; a General Description of
China and its Inhabitants
By JOHN FRANCIS DAVIS, Esq., F.R S., &c.,
Late his Majesty's Chief Superintendent in China.
A New Edition, enlarged and revised, in which the History
of English Intercourse is brought up to the present time.
This work was originally published under the Superintend-
ence of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge.
The present edition has received the most complete revision of
the Author, and is much enlarged. It is printed iu this con-
densed form, that an original work of authenticity, on the im-
portant subject of China, may be circulated at the cheapest rate.
" Mr. Davis resided twenty years at Canton, where he at
length rose to be chief of the factory ; he accompanied Lord
Amherst's Embassy to Pekin; and he ranks as one of the few
Europeans who have ever really mastered the language and
literature of China. We have a right, therefore, to consider
the statements which he has n',w submitted to the public as
containing as full and correct a view of this singular people, of
their government, laws, and institutions—and, in short, of the
whole frame of their society, as the many difficulties with
which the subject is beset will admit."—Quarterly Review.
" Mr. Davis's work on China, which is decidedly the best I
have seen. . . Au authority of acknowledged high stand-
ing."—Correspondent of the Morning Chronicle, at Macao,

" Few men connected with the complicated departments of
surgery are deserving of more grateful mention than Mr. Van
Bu chell, whose unwearied dedication to the cure of those most
painful of all diseases, which this book treats of, has resulted in
a continued course of success in cases of pearl ost hopeless and
forbidding nature. * •We find y every page re-
cording some astonishing oure in patients whose sufferings
had been of many years' duration, and most excruciating in
their nature. The warmth of expression with which the gra-
titude of some of the restored is couched must be truly gratify-
ing to the feelings, and highly creditable to the skill and judg-
ment, of Mr. Van Butchell."—Weekly True Sun.
