Notes: Based on the Chinese tragedy in Du Halde's Description géographique, historique ... de l'empire de la Chine. Cf. the English translation, v. 3: Tchao chi con ell, or, The little orphan of the family of Tchao. Differs much from Voltaire's L'orphelin de la Chine, from the same source. Cf. Murphy's letter to Voltaire usually prefixed to the play, and Voltaire's dedication to his play.
