First sentence: THESE volumes, which extend to some two thousand pages of closely printed matter, indicate no trace of the unusual administrative abilities, so frequently ascribed to the present head of the foreign branch of Chinese Maritime Customs ; nor do they in any way betray a state of perfection and completeness "not to be surpassed in Europe," such as the service in question is occasionally said to have attained to.
