Sketches in Formosa: halt on the road, 1890. 'Two more of the Sketches by Mr. E. Hornby Grimani, who resided some months at Takow, in the south-west of the island of Formosa, appear in this week's publication. They belong to the incidents of his journey, with two companions, riding ponies, to the hill country above Bankimsing...The natives of the plain, called Pepuhuans, are a comparatively civilised people, who have adopted Chinese manners and customs: and the travellers were able to procure refreshments in the villages on the road'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
