(From the "London Examiner," May 16, 1868.) This really useful volume [Treaty Ports of China au Japan" is intended as a guide for travellers and residents in China and Japan, and as a book of reference for mercantile men generally. It contains account, bistorical and politics, of all the open ports of these countries, together with Peking, Yedo, Hongkong ud Macao, It has been carefully compiled and edited by Mr N. B Dennys; and the elaborate Diaps and plaus, with which the work abounds, considerably enhance its value. *
