Note 1.—Translated by Mr. E. H. Parker.
Note 2.—Ouchterlony in his "Chinese War" describes an incident of the meeting between the Chinese and British plenipotentiaries outside the walls of Nanking after the conclusion of the peace negotiations: "Major Anstruther, of Ningpo celebrity, was introduced to Ilipu at the latter's particular desire. When in charge of the Chehkiang province, the Imperial Commissioner had shown much kindness to the gallant officer during his imprisonment. The mandarin Chu, who had on many occasions diversified his unsavoury prison fare by piquant courses from his own table, was also present, and with great cordiality greeted his old friend, who had won his heart by presents of some of his admirable sketches."
