IV. SECTION V. Of Ryot Rents in China. We know enough of China to be aware, that the sovereign is there, as elsewhere in Asia, the sole proprietor of the soil : but we hardly know enough to judge accurately of the pecul- iar modifications which this system of imperial ownership has received in that country. The manner in which the Chinese government assumes possession of the land, and imposes a rent upon it in the case of new conquests, is curiously illustrated by a letter of a victorious Chine...se commander to the Emperor, published by Mr. Patton. 1 Although one-tenth of the produce is the nominal rent in China, it is not unlikely that a very different portion is act- ually collected. It would be very interesting to have more multiplied and detailed observations on the practical effects of the system among the Chinese, than the jealousy of the government is likely soon to give opportunity for obtaining. The progress and effects of ryot rents in China, must al- most necessarily have been very different from those exhib- ited by India, Persia, or Turkey.
