Continuation of the Remarks on the Ti ouang miao. 
1. In the palace of Peking, and elfewhere, there 
are great halls, in which honours are paid to the 
memory of the deceafed emperors of the reigning 
dynafty of the Ma?2tcheou. The firft and fecond em- 
peror reigned in Eaft Tartary. The emperor Chun

years of the reign for the name or title of the two

and there are there tablets for fo many illuftrious per- 
fons among thofe emperors.

emperors of the dynafty Hin before Chrift, nor any 
of thofe between the dynafties Tang and IJan, nor 
of thofe of the five fmall dynafties after that of

tfe i or Sons of Heaven*
