MAP OF THE SUN-ON DISTRICT,

ARTIES are referred to the M. S. circulated.

London, provided a sufficient number of copies to pay the expense of publication are subscribed for. It is proposed to charge $5 per copy, and it is estimated that it will require a subscription list of 120 copies to liquidate the outlay of engraving, &c. Any surplus which may be left will be devoted to Missionary purposes.

The scope of this Map embraces an area of about Forty Five miles from North to South, and of about Sixty miles from East to West-that is to say the District of Sun-on whereof Nam-tao, is the departmental town. It is within the dis- trict of Sun-on that Hongkong and its dependen- cies stood prior to their cession, and the whole Coast line for many miles adjacent is under the jurisdiction of the Mandarin at Nam-tao,

The Map is the result of four years' labor, and is made entirely from the personal observations of the author. The dangers, the difficulties, and the hardships which the work has involved, have been very great. The district is excessively mountainous and as occular demonstration bad exclusively in all cases to be relied on, by reason of the worthlessness of native information, the fatigue attending travel has been no light matter. The villagers entertain the idea that their moun- tains contain auriferous deposits, and are very jealous of foreigners examining them. The con- sequence is that there is much difficulty in pro- curing the services of guides and still more difli- culty in obtaining correct information on any point. In fact the idea above alluded to proves a strong incentive to the conveyance of false in- formation, and excites resistance to the progress of the traveller, besides creating great personal danger.

Under these circumstances this Map has been produced, and it has been suggested to the author that it is a pity the result of so much labor, danger, and difficulty, should in these days of progress, be concealed from the world. Science, Religion and Commerce are now allied in the vast work of the dissemination of knowledge and of Western Civilisation, and it cannot be doubted that Geo- graphy is the pioneer of the movement.

But in a local and a directly utilitarian point of view, the author is encouraged to believe that his work should not be placed as a candle under a bushel. This wealthy and most important Cobny

stands in the midst of the Sun-on District, an seems to beteken a feeling in rear of the age, the topography of the immediate neighbourh should be a matter of perfet indifference. the maturalist, the traveller, the sportsman, z the Missionary, the informatiou should be acce: able, to say nothing of its political value. Bes. for police purposes in dealing with the all pres ing evil of piracy, when the subtlety of the Mi darin is considered, the author cannot doula i value of his work to the British authorities.

He therefore calls attention to his Map. 3 solicits the favor of subscriptions to enable bin publish it.
