   • 1901, Gail Hamilton, edited by H. Augusta Dodge, Gail Hamilton's Life in Letters, Boston: Lee and Shepard, page 179:

     It was really fine, the first part in Australia, the two last in China, the latter particularly good, the burning of the English factories in Canton quite life-like, the Chinese buildings well portrayed, and those fellows, those rat-eating, chop-sticky, pig-tailed Chinamen, have an idea or two about living.
