Wiley & Putnam's Foreign Library, No. V. Father Ripa's Residence at the Court of Peking. Translated by F. Prandi.

A deeply interesting book — a condensation of Father Ripa's “History of the Chinese College,” published at Naples in 1832; in three volumes octavo. This abridgment is designed to give only such passages of the original as relate to China generally, without particular reference to the College; the latter forming the main subject of the Italian work.
