Note
There is one large very wide table on page 24 of the original book. This has been split into six parts, with the first column replicated for readability. The two footnotes specific to this table have been placed under the table, as in the original book, and are marked by † and ‡.
Note
In Sir George Staunton’s Embassy to China, lately published, there are some remarks on Tea, which are occasionally referred to in the present edition; and they are referred to with the satisfaction of confirming the relation first offered to the publick in 1772.
