Some time ago we had occasion to remark upon the progress that Literature as repre- aunted by the Press had made and was making in the East, and our attention-bas again been called to the subject by the re- eript of a Hongkong publication which deserves some notice and which we have nich pleasure in introducing to the know- ledge of our readers. We allude to Notes. and Queries on China and Japan, published menllily by Mr Satut, the proprietor of the China Mail newspaper,
This publication is well printed on good, paper, and
in size and shape is very like its well-known name sake or prototypo at home, and in equally a mine coutaining very enricus and useful information regarding the language, litera ture, history, manners and customs of the Chinese and in a less degree of the Japanese. It says a good deal for the extent and stability of the footing of Europeans in China, that such a publication us this should be established and conducted with apparently successful vigour.
The publication is altogether a vary in toresting ane, and wishing it every success,
