Author's Preface. Moat persons whose avocations or studies are connected even remotely with Chinese subjects are wont to confess the need of a convenient manual of reference for the pur- pose of determining dates according to either the European or the Chinese method of coinputation; and a system of compari- son for the names attributed to years months, and other periode is also frequent a desideratum with translators and readors of Chineeo literature. The com piler of the following tablos has thought, accordingly, that their publication in a convenient form may prove useful, although mach yet remains to be done for the elaboTaken at Mesere Falconer di Co.'s Premises,

THE BENGAL PHOTOGRAPHIC

ed; and urging photographers in Chins, whether professional or Amateur, to con. tribute. With this request we have much pleasure in complying, the more.. éo as we are aware that vast strides have been taken in local photographic art within the last few years. When firet introduced to native notice, the high prices obtained by the very few Europeans who were masters of the process, becapre

a temptation to the soute Celestial, ver wide awake to any chance of making money, to embark in the same line. The result was that for some years 7 packages Sundries.

Foreign Amateurs scent, as a body, to have woefully decreased in nu ber, but there still remain a anfficient unmber from Hongkong to Peking to furnish a few representative pictures.

According to the published rules above referred to, the Exhibition is to be opened on Monday, the 13th December Exported per Kinshan, Kín Kiang and 1869, and will be closed on Saturday the 8th January 1870.
