THE CHINA REVIEW,
1.
THE widely-expressed regret at the dia THE
continunuce of Notes & Queries on China and Japan, has induced the publish ers of this journal to issue a publication similar in object and style, but slightly modified in certain detaile,
THE CHINA REVIEW, or Notes, and Queries on the Far East, is issued at in- tervals of two months, each number con-
taining about 60 octave pages, occasionally illustrated with lithographs, photographs, woodcute, &c., should the papers published demand, and the circulation justify, such extra maiter.
Tho subscription is fired at $6.50 postage paid, per annum, payable by non-residents in Hongkong Ball-yearly in advance.
The publication includes papers original and selected upon the Arts and Solences, Ethnology, Folklore, Geography, History, Literature, Mythology, Manners and Cus toms, Natural History, Religiou, &c., & of Chius, Japan, Bongolia, Tibet, the Esstora
Archipologe and the "Far East" generally. A more detailed list of subjects upon which contributions are especially invited is incorporated with each number. Criginal contributions in Chinese, Latin,
German, Spanish, Italian or Por
aro admissible. Endeavoure are made to present a resumé in sach
Dumber of the contents of the most recent
works bearing on Chinose matters. Great
attention is also paid to the Review department.
Notes and Replies are classified toge 'tor an "Notes" (head roforoncos boing
Kiven,
when furnished, to previous Notes
or Queries), as are also these queries which
though saking for information, furnish-now or unpublished details concerning the mat- ter in hand. It is desirable to make the Queries proper as brief and as much to the point as possible.
Visitors Column.
We have instituted us an experiment # VISITORS' COLUMN, which we trust will prove successful, and be found use ful. To it will be relegated from time to time such items of information, lists, tables and other intelligence as is con- sidered likely to prove valuable to per- one passing through the City; and in connection with we have opened BUSINESS DIRECTORY, applications for enrolaient into which we are now ready to receive.
