A Record of Buddhistic Kingdoms
by FaxianSeveral times during my long residence in Hong Kong I endeavoured to read through the ‘Narrative of Fâ-Hien;’ but though interested with the graphic details of much of the work, its columns bristled so constantly—now with his phonetic representations of Sanskrit words, and now with his substitution for them of their meanings in Chinese characters, ..

Wesley's Designated Successor
by Luke TyermanJean Guillaume de la Flechere, wrote Robert Southey, “was a man of rare talents, and rarer virtue.
