To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
"It maybe taken to be certain, however, that the list contains the names of persons who have never been engaged in such pursuits, or, let it be added, in any other contra- band practice.
" In investigation upon such subjects, the Chinese authori- ties would probably be guiltless of any deliberate intention to commit acts of juridical spoliation and murder.

" It places, in point of fact, the lives, liberty, and property of the whole foreign community here, at the mercy of any reckless foreigners outside, and more immediately at the disposal of the Hong merchants, linguists, compradores, and their retainers.
" The Chief Superintendent by no means ascribes general wickedness to those parties; but their situation and liabilities make them very unsafe reporters ; and yet it is mainly upon their reports that the judgment of the Government will be taken.
