"Dr. Bretschneider's present _magnum opus_ is by no means a

also a magnificent political and geographical record of all
that Europeans have ever done in China from Marco Polo down
to Mr. G. M. H. Playfair, and there is hardly any subject
connected with the Far East but what accurate light is shed
upon it by the dates, data, itineraries, geographical and
biographical details, commercial notes, and other
information furnished by the industrious and scrupulously
painstaking author, than whom there is no one in the
sinological field more worthy of absolute confidence."
