\ a n^ in offering up constant prayers, for the Lama’s recovery. The Emperor 
also ordered several large paintings, representing human figures in almost 
every stage of the small-pox, to be hung up in the room before the Lama; 
and having seen all matters thus arranged, he gave strict orders to the prince, 
his first son, and Cheengeea Gooroo, to remain in constant waiting with the 
Lama; and that nothing, which could be procured in China, should be 
wanting, that might tend to mitigate, or ease his pain. After repeating the

affliction, he expired, as he sat at prayer between two large pillows, resting 
his back against the wall. 
The writer describes his death to have been remarkably tranquil, consi¬ 
dering his disorder; as he was not moved in the least out of the seat, in 
which he was performing his devotions. 
The news was immediately communicated to the Emperor, who received 
it with every mark of grief and affliction: and early the next morning he 
repaired to the house where the Lama died, and where the body still
