第 56 頁 - Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes? They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.

第 173 頁 - The spacious streets are exceedingly smooth and level, Each being crossed by others at intervals : On either side perambulate men and women, In the centre career along the carriages and horses : The mingled sound of voices is heard in the shops at evening; During winter the heaped-up snows adhere to the pathway : Lamps are displayed at night along the street sides, Whose radiance twinkles like the stars of the sky.
第 31 頁 - The figure was completed by his apparently warlike, but really peaceable implements, which no respectable chinaman would be seen without, viz., the fan with its highly-worked sheath: the purse or tobacco-pouch, in the exquisite embroidery of which great ingenuity is displayed; a variety of silver tooth and ear-picks, with a pocket for his watch, the belt to which these are attached having a small leather case fixed to it, to contain his flint and steel.
