Notes: "The following pages are a condensation of the most interesting portions of Father Ripa's 'History of the Chinese College', published at Naples in 1832, in three volumes octavo.... The original title has not been retained, because the present abridgement is more intended to give the passages relating to China, than those concerning the institution to which the Italian work is especially devoted"-English Preface.

"Map of Peking"--P. [56].

Appendix: Copper-engravings of the 36 views of the Imperial mansion at Je-hol: P. 176-212.
