To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
141 missionaries. The author has had an opportu- nity of examining their maps of the maritime provinces of Che-keang and Fuh-keen, and he found them extremely correct. But if the coast, and the situation, and shape of small islands, coincide with their maps, how much more will their delineation of the provinces of the in- terior vie in accuracy with any survey made during the last century ?
But, notwithstanding their great services, the Jesuits were slandered. No doubt, they acted in China as i...n all other parts of the world, en- grossing and usurping the authority, which be- longed to the civil powers, and enslaving the minds of their votaries. Nevertheless, the ac- cusations brought against them were often false.
A mandarin at Canton had, in his younger days, visited the Indian archipelago. He sent a statement, the result of his voyages, to the emperor, in which he inveighs bitterly against the Europeans, whom he calls tigers and wolves, always ready to pounce upon their prey. He tells his sovereign, that these barbarians had made large conquests in India, whilst landing under the pretence of trading, and that China would very soon be conquered, if they were not kept within due bounds.
