4IO COCHINCHINA, 



India, or even to Europe, The great diffi* 

 cuUy would be, refpefting the goods which 

 ouglit to be carried thither. On this fub- 

 jedt the following remarks may be ufefuL 



The Cochinchinefe fet a great value upon 

 every thing that comes from Europe. Many 

 articles of little confequence in Erance, are 

 highly elleemed by them, fuch as toys, 

 glafs ware, and light ft ufFs, particularly thofe 

 of a red colour, which would in Gochinchina 

 find a profitable market, AH kinds of arms 

 manufactured iti Europe, efpccially fword- 

 blades made after the fafhion of the coun- 

 try ; and all forts of jewels, from diamonds 

 to commoa cryftal, would alfo be pur- 

 chafed at a high rate, by the fovereign, and 

 the great mandarins. The latter would 

 t^ke, like wife, gold and fdver wire, on 

 which one hundred per cent, might be gain- 

 ed j but it would be proper not to carry a 

 large quantity of thcfc articles. Brafs is
