K O Ii Ii A IT D, 



BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED FROM THE OLD DUTCH MASTERS. 



" Much a^repatile and useful information is conveyed io this excellent little wark. A high moral is incul- 

 cated throughout. Though directed to the young, it is worthy the perusal of adults. "^Swrrfui/ Times. 



" A charming little volumw ; in which tlie company of two observant children and their remarks, lead to 

 many statements in the conrse of travels in Holland, which cannot fail to be read with pleasure and instruc- 

 tion, not only hy the young, but the more mature. The work lias very numerous and clever illustrations, 

 and is well deserving of adoption into all family circles." — Literary Gazelle. 



" This is truly a delightf\il and useful little book, abounding in information on a country that is less fre- 

 quently visited and talked of than it deserves. — It is written for young people, but many who have arrived at 

 the age of manhood may read it with advantage." — MelropoUlan. 



*' This clever little boolc belungs. we rather think, to quite a new class. It is neither an original essay 

 prepared from reading or redection, nor a compilation of facts, adapted to the childish capacity ; but the 

 bona fide narrative of a tour, comprehending that species of information which a child is capable of acquiring 

 and enjoying." — Cominentaior.

A mSTOItV OF CHINA, 



Ancient auTJ fHot»cnt : 



COMPRISING 



A RETROSPECT OF THE FOREIGN INTERCOURSE AND TRADE WITH CHINA. 

 ILLUSTRATED BY A NEW AND CORRECTED MAP OF THE EMPIRE. 



BY THE REV. CHARLES GUTZLAFF, 



NOW AND FOR MANY YEARS PAST, RESIDENT IN THAT CODNTRY. 



" Mr. Charles Gutzlaff, a native of Prussia, was employed as a Missionary in the East, we believe, by the 

 Netherlands Society, and to his astonishing skill in acquiring tlie Dialects of the Chinese Countries, his bold 

 and adventurous character, commerce and statistical science, as well as Christianity, are already in- 

 debted After residing in Siam for some months, preaching, teaching, and acquiring languages, he 



proceeded to China in a native Junk, and by this mode of travelling, he of course acquired an insight into the 



character of the lower classes of Chinese In two subsequent voyages he coasted a large part of 



Western China, during which he was repeatedly charged by the Chinese Mandarins with being a native, so 

 accurate was his knowledge of their language and manners. China, therefore, seems to be a theatre 

 peculiarly fitted for a person of Mr. Gutzlaff's qualificaiions and temperament." — Times.
