UNDER THE ESPEXPRTRONAGE OF HER MAJESTY
AND E ROYAL FAMILY.

THIS SINfAR EXHIBITION, the only one of
the kind World, offers peculiar facilities to every
Class for inspecting the existing state of Arts and Science, and
the Social condition of the Inhabitants of China.

THE CHSISTIAN AND PHILANTHROPIST
Tip
hen Pause Deities and reflectwho m , as

hu eyndrede invoand thirluntarilyty millions rests
of
on the
beT
andi ^Ps " delight to honour," to which they bow with reverence
fear, and to which they appeal for succour in the hour of
Geed,
and upon whose intervention their Pagan minds are
ecteu as a means of salvation.

THE MERCHANT
ill here see, and become, comparatively speaking, intimately
acquainted with the system of interior traffic, as carried on by
e natives between themselves, divested of that cunning which
Cuaracterises their intercourse with all " barbarians."

THE ARTIST
1., here a wide and prolific field for study—the Carvings,
greens, Models, Paintings, and numerous other productions,
resenting, a combination of vertu and bijouterie, which must
Seen to be approved.

THE AGRICULTURIST
'3321 indulge his curiosity at the manner in which the Chinese
Cliltivate the earth. The rudeness and singularity of their im-
tteements must call up his especial wonder when contrasted with
.;, Practical system of our own country. Once a year Royalty
wlelf—the Brother to the Sun—deigns to till the ground, thereby
iL°wing an example of industry to his su'ujects in a branch of
Our t Central which has earned for their country the sobriquet of the
Flowery Nation."
