Excerpt from Historic Macao In the dawn of a promising new era for foreigners in China, Macao found, alas, that it ushered in her darkest days. And fallen from her pride of place. Spoliated, blighted, well might she in her desolation utter that awful plaint of Zion: All ye that pass by, listen and see if there be any woe like unto my woe.

Excerpt from In Macao As Robert Adams stepped from the chair, the Portuguese came forward with outstretched hand saying: What is the news Dom Robert in Hong Kong? Oh, Dom Pedro, you came out so sud denlyi thought. I was attacked. No news, unless it is that the rector of St. John's is to join me to the loveliest girl in Macao or the world, in just three weeks. I hope you won't disappoint him Dom Robert, you came very near doing so to-night, said Pedro de Amaral with a laugh. How, pray? Asked Adams as they entered the now unbarred gate. You were within three feet of the water, if you hadfallen in, that would have disappointed him. Not? Three feet is near. Not? Yes, and the boiler might have burst, replied Adams laughing. Or more improbable yet the Portuguese government might have revived Macao, which would kill me with astonishment my dear Amaral.

Excerpt from An Historical Sketch of the Portuguese Settlements in China: And of the Roman Catholic Church and Mission in China To trace the beginning of this settlement and its progress, and to examine on what ground Macao is numbered among the ultra-marine dominions of Por tugal was of consequence. Historians who detailed the earliest achievements of their countrymen in Asia, and records of the first missionary labours in China, gave the clue and exhibited to us the origin. Nation al and foreign authors of later dates describe the ad vancement, prosperity and decline of Macao, the in habitants of which, being principally by birth from Portugal, claimed in virtue of their allegiance, the protection of their sovereign: it was granted and a government instituted. By this concession, the court of Lisbon fancied that it had acquired an inherent right to the dominion of Macao, though the members of the Senate in 1593, assured his majesty, Philip I.

Excerpt from Tea, Its History and Mystery The earliest mention made of Tea by an Englishman is that contained in a letter from a Mr. Wickham, agent Of the East India Company at Pirando, Japan, and dated June 27, 1615, to a Mr. Eaton, another Officer Of the Company, resident at Macao, China, asking for a pot Of the best Cha. How the commission was executed does not appear, but in Mr. Eaton's subsequent account Of expenditures occurs this item, Three silver por ringers to drink Tea in. The first person, however, to advocate the use Of Tea in Europe was Cornelius Bottrekoe, a professor Of the Leyden University, who, in a treatise on Tea, Coffee and Chocolate, published in 1649, strongly pronounces in favor Of the former, denying the possibility Of its being injurious even when taken in immoderate quantities.
