the Chinese are as anxious as

"
sufficiently well proved by the articles
that have appeared in the native
newspapers. The courtesy and goodwill
with which we were received when
"
visiting houses in the poorest quarters
of the city, when I accompanied Mr.
Chadwick in his inspections,
#
"
surprised him greatly ; while mathing
enquiries of the residents we were
" invariably
invariably offered seats, and frequently
az we made wound
tea. Such enquirice as we m

have received but seant courtesy

if we got off without
insult and injury.
It will thus be seen that Didyres
corroborates in
as
report a
sa
every respect M. Chadwicks
to the necessity of extensive anitary reform, and as to the fistitions
nature of the opposition to such reform, based on a consideration of Chinese habits and prejudices.
