A lecture on the "Origin and Anti- quity of the Chinese People" livered by Dr. H. Chatley at a meeting of the China Society of Science and Arts at the Royal Asiatic Society at Shanchal last week.

Chirese institutions, said the lecturer, could be traced back to a very ancient age. Some of the earliest records were those of the ve uythical emperors, who were credited with great agricultural

achievements.

The Babylonian theory was much more popularly accepted, but he was of opinion that difficulties similar. to those obtaining with the Egyptian

theories, belied its probabilities. With regard to Kingsmill's Hindu theories, that Chinese culture was derived from are Northern India he contended that his- tory went all against such a possibility, and that there was no real connection to be that Chinese culture was between the two cultures.

Certain conditions were neces- sary to produce a high state of civiliza- tion, and he suggested that nothing was more conducive to this end than the plans and large rivers. The civilizations of Northern India, Mesopotamia, Mexico and China were all traceable to this cause, azd he suggested that the develop ment of the Chinese civilization might also be attributed to it. To combat the droughts and floods consequent on these conditions, the people had to develop an to cope with organization affairs, or perish, and thus it was that 795 Kwok Yik 3ling (dist. in English), all these ancient civilizations he bad
