Bible. We there find that the prophecy referred to was uttered 712 3 namely, 462 years before the time when, according to the authority above stated, the distinctive name was given to the people to whom the prophecy is by some believed to refer.
Chee Wang, prince of Tsin, although, like many conquerors of later times, a cruel man, was undoubtedly a great one; not only did he subdue the entire empire, but he excavated many canals; and, with a View of preventing the incursions of the Huns, he erected the great wall, or rather completed it by uniting the walls and towers that had been already built by the northern princes.
By what name the country was known during the immense period that intervened between the time of Isaiah and that of the family of Tsin, cannot now, it seems, be ascertained with precision we know, however, that the Chinese, as a people, are among the most ancient of all regarding whom history informs us; they have seen the rise and fall of many of the ancient nations, whose records still remain, they have, in fact, existed as a nation far longer than any other with whom we are acquainted their days have truly been long in their land, and the coinci dence is, to say the least of it, remarkable, that the Chinese, as a people, rigidly carry out the injunctions of the first com mandment with promise; with them, honour to their fathers and mothers is made the grand principle upon which all govern ment is established, nor does this honour cease with life of the parents, the names of their ancestors are worshipped through many generations.
It is not my intention to enter at length into the history of the country; volumes upon volumes are available, written by the Jesuit missionaries, upon this subject. It is only necessary, with a view to carry out the plan I have laid down for myself in these brief remarks, to give a few of the great landmarks of that history as obtained from various authorities whom I have consulted upon the subject.

Product Description:
Excerpt from China, a Medical Point of View: In 1860 and 1861, to Which Is Added a Chapter on Nagasaki as a Sanitarium The late expedition to China has afforded opportunities not heretofore available to Englishmen of making observations, upon a tolerably extensive scale, in regard to the climate of several portions of that great but disorganized empire, of inquiring into the various productions of its soil, and of investigating the phenomena of disease, as well as its ravages among our troops employed there. In the following pages I endeavour to give a faithful record of my observations in regard to these matters, introducing, from time to time, as I proceed, such remarks upon various other subjects as I think likely to interest the reader. If we may judge from the present aspect of affairs in China, further military operations there may confidently be looked for. Probably no expedition was ever more completely fitted out in all its departments, and certainly none could have been more successful, than the one sent out to avenge our disasters at the mouth of the Peiho.
