大清朝

Tá Tsing Châu,

OR

GREAT PURE DYNASTY.

The Tá Tsing Cháu, or reigning Mánchí-Chinese family feign to derive their origin from the gods. It is believed, however, that the Minchú race was formed of Tongouse tribes, situated on the banks of the Amour, or Black Dragon river north of Corea, and at no very remote period of time.
