Chinese and Hong Kong life and customs. If these were illustrated and published at a price not exceeding that now paid, they would doubtless be in great demand.

I have always understood that the main object of Queen's College was not to train boys for mere copying clerks, book-keepers, or even Translators or Interpreters, but to give them a generally thorough good education, in which the Knowledge of English was to bear a prominent part.

Our boys have become doctors, engineers, &c., throughout the Empire of China, as well as clerks in mercantile firms.
