ABSTRACT
From Lien Chi Altangi, to Fum Hoam, first president of the Ceremonial Academy at Pekin, in China.
How often have we admired the eloquence of Europe! That strength of thinking, that delicacy of imagination, even beyond the efforts of the Chinese themselves. How were we enraptured with those bold figures which sent every sentiment with force to the heart. How have we spent whole days together in learning those arts by which European writers got within the passions, and led the reader as if by enchantment.
