Note:
According to the introduction, the translation dated 1719 was made by an English merchant, James Wilkinson in Canton. Percy revised the draft for grammar only, and read a good deal for the notes on the text. Chinese poems in the book were translated from Du Halde and the like, and an article on Chinese poetry by Freret added. The original draft was completed by a Portuguese, and this supplement was translated by Percy, too.
