Notes

1 At the time of Dr. Brunero's research (before 2001), the 55,000 documents of the Chinese Maritime Customs Service Archive located at the Chinese Second Historical Archives in Nanjing were not easily accessible, as the catalog was completed only in 2003–2004. The Chinese Maritime Customs project has now teamed up with Dr. Brunero at the University of Bristol, United Kingdom. See their website: http://www.bris.ac.uk/history/customs/.
