Versification, or the particular rules which prevail in the mere construction of lines, couplets, and stanzas; and the sources whence these derive their melody and rythm. Part II. A general view of the style and spirit of Chinese poetry, the character of its imagery and sentiment, and the extent to which it seems to admit of a precise classification, relatively to the divisions and nomenclature adopted in European literature. To such as should find the first portion of our treatise dry and technical in its details, the second may possibly prove more attractive: but the order of discussion could hardly be inverted with propriety. page 394 note * Low words, of any length, are certainly out of place in poetry: but that gn English versa is much the worse for consisting of ten monosyllables, does not so clearly appear; and Pope's own poems abound in monosyllabic lines, as may be proved by the slightest examination. A few instances occur even of couplets so distinguished: ‘Ah, if she lend riot arms, as well as rules, What can she more than tell us we are fools!’ ‘Talk what you will of taste, my friend, you'll find Two of a face, as well as of a mind.’ ‘—Th...

Women have but little influence on this nomination in the present dynasty, but in some of the former they have exercised it so far as to promote a concubine to the dignity of Empress Mother, obliging the latter to abdication, or imprisonment. page 132 note * On the 18th of October 1813, as the Emperor Kea-King was about to enter Peking, on his return from a summer's excursion to Jeho (literally Thermopylæ, or “The Hot Springs”), a party of conspirators entered the Imperial palace, and kept possession of a part of it for some time. The first intimation of this occurrence was conveyed in the following Proclamation from the Emperor:— “Proclamation—to announce a revolt which has taken place, and to inculpate myself.— Eighteen years have elapsed since, possessed of only inferior virtue, I looked up and received with profound veneration, the throne from my imperial father; after which I dared not resign myself to ease, or neglect th...

The Royal Asiatic Society was founded in 1823 by the eminent Sanskrit scholar Henry Colebrooke and a group of likeminded individuals. It received its Royal Charter from King George IV in the same year "for the investigation of subjects connected with and for the encouragement of science, literature and the arts in relation to Asia". Throughout the course of the Society's history many distinguished scholars have contributed to its work, including Sir Richard Burton (1821-90) the noted explorer and first translator of the Arabian Nights and Kama Sutra and Sir Aurel Stein (1862-1943) the renowned archaeologist and explorer of the 'Silk Road'. The Royal Asiatic Society is affiliated to associate societies in India, Sri Lanka, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea and Malaysia, and it provides a forum for those who are interested in the history, languages, cultures and religions of Asia to meet and exchange ideas. The Society offers lectures and seminars and it provides facilities for research and publishing.
