Footnotes
134 These five words have the h so strongly aspirated that it was rarely we could pronounce them to the satisfaction of the natives.
Their language, upon the whole, is not unpleasing, and it has none of the harsh Chinese sounds. The natives have a remarkable facility in imitating our sounds, and they in general speak in a very loud tone of voice.
