57. WHEELER, J. TALBOYS. _History of India_ (vol. iii. pp. 385-393)
contains a resume of, and running comment on, Marco Polo's notices of
India.

Mr. Wheeler's book says; "His travels appear _to have been written_ at
Comorin, the most southerly point of India" (p. 385). The words that I have
put in Italics are evidently a misprint, though it is not clear how to
correct them.

qu'il a rendus en faisant connaitre l'Asie_. Read before the _Imp. Geog.
Society_ at St. Petersburg, 6/18 October, 1865; translated by M. Emile
Durand in the _Journ. Asiatique_, ser. VII. tom. iv. pp. 122-158
(September, 1874).

The Author expresses his conviction that Marco Polo had described a number
of localities after Chinese written authorities; for in the old Chinese
descriptions of India and other transmarine countries are found precisely
the same pieces of information, neither more nor fewer, that are given by
Marco Polo. Though proof of this would not be proof of the writer's
deduction that Marco Polo was acquainted with the Chinese language, it
would be very interesting in itself, and would explain some points to which
we have alluded (e.g., in reference to the frankincense plant, p. 396, and
to the confusion between Madagascar and Makdashau, p. 413). And Mr. G.
Phillips has urged something of the same kind. But M. de Skattschkoff
adduces no proof at all; and for the rest his Essay is full of inaccuracy.
