Art. VII.—A Transcript in Roman Characters, with a Translation, of a Manifesto in the Chinese Language, issued by the Triad Society
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 March 2011
Extract
In the First Volume of the Transactions of the Royal Asiatic Society, page 240, will be found a brief sketch of the nature, constitution, and objects of the secret fraternity called the “Triad Society,” written by the late Rev. Dr. Milne, and communicated by Dr. Morrison. The. Manifesto, of which a copy is subjoined, appears to have been put forth on swearing in members of that Association. It was found in the English burial-ground at Macao, on the night of Sunday the 19th of October 1828.
