Pàgina 107 - I hope your health is good. China is a great empire, extending over a great part of the world. The Chinese are numerous. You have millions and millions of subjects. The twenty-six United States are as large as China, though our people are not so numerous. The rising sun looks upon the great mountains and great rivers of China. When he sets, he looks upon rivers and mountains equally large in the United States. Our territories extend from one great ocean to the other; and on the west we are divided...
Pàgina 106 - one of the turning points in the history of mankind, involving the welfare of all nations in its wide-reaching consequences." It consisted of thirteen articles, of which the principal provisions arranged for the transfer of Hongkong to the British crown; the payment of $21,000,000 indemnity (made up of $6,000,000 for the opium, $3,000,000 for debts due to British subjects, and $12,000,000 for the expenses of the campaign ) ; the opening, in addition to Canton, of the four ports of Amoy, Fuchow, Ningpo...
Pàgina 95 - Summer is past, and no rain has fallen. Not only do agriculture and human beings feel the dire calamity, but also beasts and insects, herbs and trees, almost cease to live. I, the minister of Heaven, am placed over mankind, and am responsible for keeping the world in order, and tranquillizing the people. Although it is now impossible for me to sleep or eat with composure ; although I am scorched with grief, and tremble with anxiety ; still, after all, no genial and copious showers have been obtained.
Pàgina 168 - The various powers cast upon us looks of tiger-like voracity, hustling each other in their endeavors to be the first to seize upon our innermost territories.

If for one day they omitted smoking,...
Pàgina 99 - To sum up the whole matter; the nation has its laws; it is so everywhere. Even England has its laws. How much more the celestial empire!

Pàgina 95 - Some days ago, I fasted, and offered rich sacrifices on the altars of the gods of the land and the grain ; and had to be thankful for gathering clouds and slight showers ; but not enough to cause gladness.
