DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Fisher's Colonial Magazine, Vol. 2: And Commercial Maritime Journal, January April, 1843 WE have no hesitation in asserting, that the pledge, given in the Preface of our preceding volume, of presenting Essays, Articles, Treatises, and Papers on the most engrossing colonial and commercial subjects, from the pens of eminently qualified writers at home, or distinguished individuals resident in our various possessions in both hemispheres, has been fully redeemed. This volume, spread over the first four months of the year, contains elaborate articles upon thc prospects of our improved trade with China, written by a gentleman, (mr. Wise, of Allonby, ) who, during thirty successive years, was deeply engaged in traffic with that industrious people, and, for a great portion of that long period, a resident at some of the chief sea-ports in Eastern Asia.
