In 1814, Treuttel and Wurtz published an additional supplementary volume, which is not included in this series.

This highly significant work offers an invaluable first-hand account of Chinese history, science, arts, customs, and traditions, as observed by Jesuit scholars residing in China during the 18th century. It is one of the most important early Western sources on China and remains a cornerstone of Sinological studies.
