instructive. Fairly

easily procurable.

Reference to special Provincial

decisions is also most important

"Leading Cases".

By Chu Yun 朱橒

'Officials'. It is important and valuable for reference. There are many editions, and it is easily procurable.

A standard work circa 1860

In addition to a perusal of works such as the above, the Ching Pao or "Peking Gazette" should be constantly studied.
