Description
An account of the resource
Surgeon James Johnson (1777-1845) was on board the 36 gun ship Caroline, commanded by B. W. Page. Dedicated to Henry Lord Viscount Melville, this work contains a topographical and picturesque sketch of all the places annually visited by the British East India and China fleets, including Madeira, Ceylon, Madras, Bengal, Malacca, Sumatra, Macao and Canton. After sailing through a typhoon, the Caroline eventually arrived at Canton, in early December 1804.
According to Johnson, 'Hog-lane' was the sailor's pleasure-spot, where they would lose their money and get drunk. Anecdotes abound of incidents between the Chinese and the English 'tars'.

At the age of seventeen, the Venetian Marco Polo (1254-1324) travelled with his merchant father, Nicolo, and his uncle, Maffeo, to the court of Kublai Khan. Polo was away from Venice for twenty-four years. His account of his travels and of the Peking (Beijing) court and its riches afforded the European world its first knowledge of the East. To some his stories were so fantastic that he was dubbed Marco Millioni, 'man of a million lies'.

An account of the resource
'I consider it a singular plan of the fates that human cultivation and refinement should today be concentrated, as it were, in the two extremes of our continent, in Europe and in Tshina (as they call it), which adorns the Orient as Europe does the opposite edge of the earth.' So wrote G. W. Leibniz (1646-1716), the German philosopher and mathematician, in his preface to Novissima Sinica (News from China), a collection of missionary reports and letters on China. Two questions from the text highlight the practical nature inherent in the book: 'Whether nothing is known of the sea between North Asia and North America' and 'whether there were any artificial economic devices of the Chinese for toiling the field and garden, which are of worth and useful to be described?' This is the second edition of 1699.
