Other authors / contributors:Du Halde, J.-B. (Jean-Baptiste), 1674-1743.
Notes:First edition (Wrenn)
Based on the Chinese tragedy in Du Halde's Description géographique, historique ... de l'empire de la Chine (cf. the English translation, v. 3: Tchao chi con ell; or, The little orphan of the family of Tchao) Differs much from Voltaire's L'orphelin de la Chine, from the same source. cf. Murphy's letter to Voltaire (p. [89]-96) and Voltaire's dedication to his play.
