We cannot part from our author without referring to his last work the Treatles between the Empire of China and For eign Powers." The notice of this work the last number which appeared in of the Chiria Review does not do justice to its real merits. Instead of giving as the writer of only an "abstract," that notice avers, of all Treaties save those with the four great Powers, a simple glance through the book is sufficient any one that Mr. Mayers reprinted in Fall the Swedish, Dutch and Portuguess Treaties, to say nothing of the Japanese, which had never been in print before and the Peruvian. which is also given in full. Beside this, in addition to suficient abstracts of the contents of the old and obsolete. Russian Treatics, Mr. Mayers' collection contains the Treaties of Kuldia and Alghun in full (never before published in China) and the French text of the Convention of Feking, General Ignatieff's selebrated Treaty, which also had never before been accessible in China,

LOGAL AND GENERAL

Ir is satisfactory to learn that Mr Hen- nassy paid his first visit to the Central School on Saturday, because it was regarded as rather singular that while His Excellency could honour the Con- vent with his presence, and busy himself over that unfortunate mirror at Wanchai, the Central School-the chief Govern ment educational establishment of the Colony-should be loft out in the cold. The author of the recently published forth see in this respect both among Chidon, in lat. 11.7 N. and 110.14 E., all well. pamphlet on the Central School was pleased to write of this neglest of the and newspaper writers.
