It is related in the veracious anuals of this Empire, that in the dynasty of Ming there was a cortala Minister of State named Fang iso-ju, who was remarkable for the loyalty with which he served his master, the Emperor Klen War. In the year 1404 A.D., an insurrection arose headed by the nephew of the reigning monarch; the upshot of which was that Kien Wen was deposed and killed, and the throne usurped by his annatural relativo. No. Fronch royalist, however, could have been more sternly faithful to the legitimate branch of the family than was the worthy statesman Fang, who steadily refused to acknowledge the supremacy of the new sovereign. At last, however, he was captured, and brought into the presence of the Prince; whose court, I must not forget to mention, was then held in the city of Nanking-in that enclosure, indeed, which I described a few weeks ago, known as the Forbidden City, which formed the nucleus of the Imperial Oity. The interview between the monarch Lal Aebi, a servant, Lak Aka
