Of interest, also, are illumin- ated charts of Portsmouth Har- bour, dating. It is said; from the reign of Elizabeth, and of the waters round about Macao--hear about Hong Kong-drawn in 1700 Both are typical of the decorative and more or less rough- and ready-productions of their re- spective periods, states an article in "The Times."
