Copy of a DESPATCH from Governor Sir Richard Graves MACDONNELL, C.B., to
his Grace the DUKE OF BUCKINGHAM and Chandos.
(No. 394.)
MY LORD DUKE,
Government House, Hong Kong,
14th November 1867.
In reference to my Despatch No. 384., transmitting the Blue Book for last year, and more especially to those paragraphs (80 and 81) which give the summary of foreign trade with China during 1866, I think it desirable to transmit in full the analysis of the figures for that year with which Her Majesty's Consul at Canton, Mr. Robertson, has kindly favoured me, and which he has since supplemented with the figures for the years 1864 and 1865.
He has done this in a manner so clear and simple that the document appears to me to deserve the widest circulation, and in the event of any publicity being given to my Report, I should wish the Trade Analysis by Consul Robertson to be published with it as explanatory of and supplemental thereto, for the magnitude of the figures, which I accepted as accurate, is such as to require some such voucher as that which the details furnished by Consul Robertson supply.
I have, &c.,
RICHARD GRAVES MACDONNELL,
Governor.
His Grace the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos,
&c.
