A meritorious essay, containing good remarks on the comparison of different Texts.
48. Kingsley, Henry. Tales of Old Travel renarrated. London, 1869.
This begins with Marco Polo. The work has gone through several editions, but I do not know whether the author has corrected some rather eccentric geography and history that were presented in the first. Mr. Kingsley is the author of another story about Marco Polo in a Magazine, but I cannot recover the reference.
49. Notes and Queries for China and Japan. This was published from January, 1867, to November, 1870, at Hong-Kong under able editorship, and contained some valuable notes connected with Marco Polo’s chapters on China.
