Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Voyage to China
In regard to style, grammatical accuracy, and mode of arrangement, he requests his readers to bear in mind, that this is not a book written by a professed scholar, but the production of an un lettered seaman. In the course of the work, he, has endeavoured to account for the discrepancy between his own humble though faithful narrative, and descriptions, and the vague and disjointed ac counts of some former writers, by which the Co chin Chinese character is so differently represented.
