INTRODUCTION
The -tclzéou (of French writers), -choo, -chow, or -dun/ of
English writers, which so frequently forms the terminal part in
the names of Chinese cities, is almost invariably rendered by
Polo as gin. This has frequently in the MSS., and constantly
in the printed editions, been converted into g ui, and thence into
guy. This is on the whole the most constant canon of Polo's
geographical orthography, and holds in Caagiu (Ho-chau),
Singiu (Sining-chau), Cui-giu (Kwei-chau), Sin gin (T'sining-
chau), Pi g iu (Pei-chau), Coiganb iu (Hwaingan-chau), Si g iu
(Si-chau), Ti g iu (Tai-chau), Tin-giu (Tung-chau), Yan-giu
(Yang-chau), Sin-giu (Chin-chau), Caagiu (Kwa-chau), Cltinglti-
giu (Chang-chau), Su-giu (Su-chau), Vi g iu (Wu-chau), and
perhaps a few more. In one or two instances only (as
Sinda-ciu, Caiciu) he has -ciu instead of -giu.
The chapter-headings I have generally taken from
Pai'thier's Text, but they are no essential part of the original
work, and they have been slightly modified or enlarged where it
seemed desirable.

* I am quite sensible of the diffidence with which any outsider should touch any question of Chinese language or orthography. A Chinese scholar and missionary (Mr. Moule) objects to my spelling chau, whilst he, I see, uses chow. I imagine we mean the same sound, according to the spelling which I try to use throughout the book. Dr. C. Douglas, another missionary scholar, writes chau
