The publication is altogether a very in teresting one, and wishing it every success, we command it to the attention and support of our readers.

(From the "London Examiner," May 16, 1888.) This really useful volume ["Treaty Poris

intended of China and Japan" is guide for travellers and residents in China and Japan, and as a book of reference for mercantile men generally. It contains an account, historical and political, of all the open ports of these countries, together with Peking Yedo Hongkong and Macao. It has been carefully compiled and edited by

N. B. Dennys; and the elborate and plans, with which the work abounds, considerably enhance its value. ***

We have thus given in outline some of the moro prominent portions of the chapter devoted to Canton, as a specimen of tho whole volume. Other chapters treating of Macan, Formosa, Ningpo, Shaughae, and

We may, how- ever, in passing, express our gratification at the unsuimity of the press in China upon this particular matter of Sir R. Alcock's diplomatic action.
