My copy of the _Hae kw[)o] hëen këen l[)u]h_ was printed in the province _Che keang_, in the year 1794. "In the narrative regarding foreign countries, and forming part of the history of the Ming, the English are called _Yen go le_; in the _Hae kw[)o] hëen këen l[)u]h_, Ying ke le (5272, 6950); but in the maps the name is now always written _Ying keih le_ (5018, 6947). In expressing the sound of words we sometimes use different characters. This kingdom lies to the west of _Gow lo pa_ (Europa), and was originally a tributary state to Ho lan (Holland); but in the course of time it became richer and more powerful than _Ho lan_, and revolted. These kingdoms are, therefore, enemies. It is not known at what time the Ying keih le grasped the country of North _O m[)o] le kea_ (America), which is called _Kea no_ (Canada). Great _Ying keih le_ is a kingdom of Gow lo pa (Europe.)[14] In the twelfth year of _Yung ching_ (1735), they came the first time to Canton for trade. Their country produces wheat, with which they trade to all the neighboring countries. They are generally called _Keang he[)o]_ (that is, English ships from India, or country ships), and there arrive many vessels." This extract is taken from the _Tan chay hëen këen l[)u]h_, and it is all that we find regarding England in the Memoirs concerning the south of the Mei ling Mountains (p. 18 r. v.). In the latter extract, the author appears to confound the country trade of India and China with that of the mother country. England is again mentioned in the notice regarding Me le keih (America), taken out of Yuen's History of Canton. It is there said, that the Me le keih passed, in the 52d year of Këen lung (1788), the Bocca Tigris, and that they then separated from the Ying keih le (p. 19 r.) At the end of the extract concerning the Americans (p. 190) we read the following words: "The characters which are used in the writings of these realms are, according to the statements of _Ma lo ko_, _twenty-six_; all sounds can be sufficiently expressed by these characters. Every realm has large and small characters; they are called _La ting_ characters, and _La te na_ (Latin) characters." It is pleasing to observe that his Excellency Yuen had some knowledge of Dr. Morrison's Dictionary. In the third part of his Dictionary, Dr. Morrison has given, in Chinese, a short and clear notice concerning the European alphabet. Yuen seems to have taken his statements from this notice, and to have written the name of the author, by a mistake, _Ma lo ko_, for _Ma le so_, as Dr. Morrison is generally called by the Chinese. _The Man ying, the Double Eagle, or Austrians._
