To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is perfectly obvious, from an inspection of the arti- cles embraced in Mr. Dunn's Collection, that the excel- lence of the porcelain manufacture has been on the decline for the last three centuries. The deterioration, as well as the high degree of perfection it had then attained, are easily explained. The Emperors who flourished about that period, encouraged the manufacture by munificent premiums on the most beautiful specimens, and by large an- nual orders for the finer wares. A premium of ...15, 000 tael, or more than 820, 000 was bestowed on the maiiufacturer of the best specimen ; 10, 000 tael on him who produced the second-best ; while third-rate excellence received a reward of 5, 000. The Emperors no longer bestow any special encouragement, and hence the decline of compe- tition, and consecpiently of excellence.
The origin of the word porcelain, or porce liana ^ may not be generally known. Marsden, as quoted by Davis, shows that it was applied by the Europeans to the ware of China, from the resemblance of its fine polished sur- liice to that of the univalve shell so named ; while the shell itself derived its appellation from the curved shape of its upper surface, which was thought to resemble the raised back of ?l poi^cella, or little hog.
