Excerpt from Miscellaneous Notices Relating to China, and Our Commercial Intercourse With That Country: Part the Second
If you are asked what we principally esteem and reverence in China, you may thus reply: In our empire, fidelity, filial piety, charity, jus tice, and sincerity, are esteemed above all things. We revere and abide by them: they are the principles upon which we administer the empire as well as govern ourselves. We likewise make sacrifices and oblations we pray for good things, and we deprecate evil things; but if we did not act honestly, if we were not faithful, pious, charitable, just, and sincere, of what avail.

Excerpt from Miscellaneous Notices Relating to China, and Our Commercial Intercourse With That Country: Part the Second
The object of the following Essay is to collect together in one point of view, some facts connected with the manners and institutions of the Chinese, the due consideration of which may assist us in forming a just estimate of the national character of that singular people.
One of the most remarkable national peculiarities of the Chinese, is, undoubtedly, their extraordinary addiction to letters, the general prevalence of literary habits among the middling and higher orders, and the very honorable pre-eminence, which, from the most remote period, has been universally conceded throughout the Chinese empire to that class which is exclusively devoted to literary pursuits.
