[145] When the emperor goes out or comes into the palace, this bell is
rung.

[146] In these two houses are Jesuits of other nations. They are stiled
Portuguese, because these houses and churches depend on the mission of
the Jesuits founded by the king of Portugal.

[147] There are beaten there the five watches of the night. The sound
is heard thro’ the whole city.

[148] _Yong lo_, emperor of the last dynasty _Ming_, built these two
towers.

[149] The tribunals of the ministers and grand masters of the emperor’s
house are in the inclosure _Tse kin_.

[150] The feet are different in China; but 1800 feet always make a
_ly_. According to the measure of the foot the _ly_ will be greater or
less.

[151] This power is called in China the dynasty _Leao_.

[152] There is extant, in the Chinese and Tartar _Mantcheou_ languages,
an history of the dynasty of _Ki tan_.

[153] Of which dynasty there is extant a very curious history.

[155] If α, β, γ, δ, _&c._ be supposed to represent the co-sines of the
angles 360° ⁄ _n_, 2 × 360° ⁄ _n_, 3 × 360° ⁄ _n_, _&c._ (the radius
being unity); then the roots of the equation _zⁿ_ - 1 = 0 (expressing
the several values of _p_, _q_, _r_, _s_, _&c._) will be truly defined
by 1, α + √(αα - 1), α - √(αα - 1), β + √(ββ - 1), β - √(ββ - 1), _&c._
The demonstration of this will be given farther on.
