His volume is a very medley of things Chinese,—Chinese cities with their local peculiarities; Chinese food, medicine, clothes, houses and gardens, servants and laborers; customs of marriage, burial, and mourning; Chinese boys, women, and girls, their manners, education, punishments; religions, superstitions, spirits, monks and priests, foreign missionaries, New Year devotions and rites, government,—and much more.”—Dial.
