The Wayangs of the Chinese.

The price of Java coffee. (This I have laid aside.)

A European coinage.

Irrigation of communal lands.

The influence of the mixing of races on the mind.

Balance of trade. (In this he speaks of the fluctuations of exchange. I have laid it aside for my book.)

The original population of America.
