Letters from Lien Chi Ahangi to Fum Hoam in Pekin
A London letter quotes Lien Chi Ahangi arguing against European misrepresentations about the Pope and various fantastical descriptions of peoples. It includes a biting critique of European historians and doctors, and a separate moral letter offering social guidance on street behavior and strict measures against indecency near boarding schools. The piece ends with maritime notices from Falmouth and other ports detailing captures, ransomings, and naval movements.
