    Notes
    "This volume is an incomparable compendium of expeditionary reports, exhibited artifacts and concise aphoristic parables that charts the most direct and unfailing course to the modern, meticulously presented so as to be readily comprehensible to any reader no matter how putatively backward or decadent. By means of careful attention to and assiduous application of the lessons contained within this guide, the diligent reader is categorically guaranteed to reap the benefit of metropolises and entrepôts relieved of such troublesome nuisances as foreign gunboats, financiers, missionaries, and the like"--Publisher's description.
