No.19 A drawing chiefly intended to show the form and structure of Chinese triumphal arches or monuments erected to the memory of those who have been thought to have deserved well of their country.

21. A view of the Great Wall of China near the pass of Cou-pe-keou, from which may be formed a very good idea of the manner in which this stupendous edifice is carried over the summits of the highest mountains.
