[2] These particulars were obtained by Dr. Bushell through the
Archimandrite Palladius, from the MS. account of a Chinese traveller
who visited Shangtu about two hundred years ago, when probably the
whole inscription was above ground. The inscription is also mentioned
in the Imp. Geography of the present Dynasty, quoted by Klaproth. This
work gives the interior wall 5 _li_ to the side, instead of a _li_,
and the outer wall 10 _li_, instead of 4 _li_. By Dr. Bushell”s
kindness, I give a reduction of his sketch plan (see _Itinerary Map_,
No. IV. at end of this volume), and also a plate of the heading of the
inscription. The translation of this is: ‘Monument conferred by the
Emperor of the August Yuen (Dynasty) in memory of His High Eminence
Yun Hien (styled) Chang-Lao (canonised as) Shou-Kung (Prince of
Longevity).’ [See _Missions de Chine et du Congo_ No. 28, Mars, 1891,
Bruxelles.]
