three editions. Great changes have
been made in fifty years. and since
the Boxer rebellion the number and
boldness of the newspapers have in
creased. There are seven different
styles of writing, viz, the ancient. the
literary, the flowery, the common, the
"demi-vulgaire," the familiar and the
epistoIary. The papers for the people
are printed in the common style and
some have adopted the new alphabet
sanctioned by the government. Great
er reverence is shown to the press in
China than in other countries. Old
papers are never put to base uses;
they are collected and burned in the
pagodas. The Chinaman believes that
proclamation of newspapers is followed
