EXPLANATORY LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS TO VOLUME II.

INSERTED PLATES AND MAPS.

To face page
[Title.]Portrait bearing the inscription “Marcus Polvs Venetvs Totivs Orbis et Indie Peregrator Primvs.” In the Gallery of Monsignor Badia at Rome; copied by Sign. Giuseppe Gnoli, Rome.
[xxiv.]Medallion, representing Marco Polo in the Prison of Genoa, dictating his story to Master Rustician of Pisa, drawn by Signor Quinto Cenni from a rough design by Sir Henry Yule.
[29.]The celebrated Christian Inscription of Si-ngan fu. Photolithographed by Mr. W. Grigg, from a Rubbing of the original monument, given to the Editor by the Baron F. von Richthofen. This rubbing is more complete than that used in the first edition, for which the Editor was indebted to the kindness of William Lockhart, Esq.
[79.]The Lake of Tali (Carajan of Polo) from the Northern End. Woodcut after Lieut. Delaporte, borrowed from Lieut. Garnier’s Narrative in the Tour du Monde.
[79.]Suspension Bridge, neighbourhood of Tali. From a photograph by M. Tannant.
[111.]The City of Mien, with the Gold and Silver Towers. From a drawing by the Editor, based upon his sketches of the remains of the City so called by Marco Polo, viz., Pagán, the mediæval capital of Burma.
[131.]Itineraries of Marco Polo. No. V. The Indo-Chinese Countries. With a small sketch extracted from a Chinese Map in the possession of Baron von Richthofen, showing the position of Kien-ch’ang, the Caindu of Marco Polo.
[143.]Sketch Map exhibiting the Variations of the Two Great Rivers of China, within the Period of History.
[182.]The City of Su-chau. Reduced by the Editor from a Rubbing of a Plan incised on Marble, and preserved in the Great Confucian Temple in the City. The date of the original set of Maps, of which this was one, is uncertain, owing to the partial illegibility of the Inscription; but it is subsequent to A.D. 1000. They were engraved on the Marble A.D. 1247. Many of the names have been obliterated, and a few of those given in the copy are filled up from modern information, as the Editor learns from Mr. Wylie, to whom he owes this valuable illustration.
[193.]Map of Hang-chau fu and its Lake, from Chinese Sources. The Map as published in the former edition was based on a Chinese Map in the possession of Dr. W. Lockhart, with some particulars from Maps in a copy of the Local Topography, Hang-Chau-fu-chi, in the B. Museum Library. In the second edition the Map has been entirely redrawn by the Editor, with many corrections, and with the aid of new materials, supplied by the kindness of the Rev. G. Moule of the Church Mission at Hang-chau. These materials embrace a Paper read by Mr. Moule before the N. China Branch of the R. As. Soc. at Shang-hai; a modern engraved Map of the City on a large scale; and a large MS. Map of the City and Lake, compiled by John Shing, Tailor, a Chinese Christian and Catechist; The small Side-plan is the City of Si-ngan fu, from a plan published during the Mongol rule, in the 14th century, a tracing of which was sent by Mr. Wylie. The following references could not be introduced in lettering for want of space:— Yuen-Tu-Kwan (Tauist Monastery). Chapel of Hien-ning Prince. Leih-Ching Square (Fang). Tauist Monastery. Kie-lin General Court. Ancestral Chapel of Yang-Wan-Kang. Chapel of the Mid-year Genius. Temple of the Martial Peaceful King. Stone where officers are selected. Mews. Jasper-Waves Square (Fang). Court of Enquiry. Gate of the Făng-Yuen Circuit. Bright Gate. Northern Tribunal. Refectory. Chapel of the Făng-Yuen Prince. Embroidery manufactory. Hwa-li Temple. Old Superintendency of Investigations. Superintendent of Works. Ka-yuen Monastery. Prefectural Confucian Temple. Benevolent Institution. Temple of Tu-Ke-King. Balustrade enclosure. Medicine-Bazar Street. Tsin and Ching States Chapel. Square of the Double Cassia Tree. N.B.—The shaded spaces are marked in the original Min-Keu “Dwellings of the People.”
[213.]Plan of Southern Part of the City of King-szé (or Hang-chau), with the Palace of the Sung Emperors. From a Chinese Plan forming part of a Reprint of the official Topography of the City during the period Hien-Shun (1265–1274) of the Sung Dynasty, i.e. the period terminated by the Mongol conquest of the City and Empire. Mr. Moule, who possesses the Chinese plan (with others of the same set), has come to the conclusion that it is a copy at second-hand. Names that are underlined are such as are preserved in the modern Map of Hang-chau. I am indebted for the use of the original plan to Mr. Moule; for the photographic copy and rendering of the names to Mr. Wylie.
[241.]Sketch Map of the Great Ports of Fo-kien, to illustrate the identity of Marco Polo’s Zayton. Besides the Admiralty Charts and other well-known sources the Editor has used in forming this a “Missionary Map of Amoy and the Neighbouring Country,” on a large scale, sent him by the Rev. Carstairs Douglas, LL.D., of Amoy. This contains some points not to be found in the others.
