CHINESE NOTES.
In an old Foechow: Story-book we read the following sentences at the end of an Imperial Decree of some former Dynasty:
珍哉謝恩吾主萬歲 which
means "Respect this; thank his grace; our Lord, live for over." It appears then that like the modern is ut

The decrees of the Byzantian Emperors were hailed with acclanations of the same description. See the nccdunts given of the reception of Justi-
