Note 1 — Chapter XLIV
Henry Yule translation
My lamented friend Lieutenant F. Garnier had kindly undertaken to send me a plan of Ch’êng-tu fu from the place itself, but, as is well known, he fell on a daring enterprise elsewhere. [We hope that the plan from a Chinese map we give from
M. Marcel Monnier’s Itinéraires
will replace the promised one.
It will be seen that Ch’êng-tu is divided into three cities: the Great City containing both the Imperial and Tartar cities.—H. C.]
