In this country he is deprived, by an adverse Magician, of his Columbine; and in despair is on the point of destroying himself by Fire, when the Magic Arm appears in the flames to prevent him; the object of his choice is restored by the old Inca, his Father; and their Union and the Restoration of his Right, preceded by their Visit to the Great Wall of China, which separates that Empire from Tartary, after which is seen a Chinese and European Procession; concluding with a Representation of the reception of a British Embassy to China, with the Exchange of Presents in the Grand Hall of Audience. and in despair is on the point of destroying himself by Fire, when the Magic Arm appears in the flames to prevent him; the object of his choice is restored by the old Inca, his Father; and their Union and the Restoration of his Right, preceded by their Visit to the Great Wall of China, which separates that Empire from Tartary, after which is seen a Chinese and European Procession; concluding with a Representation of the reception of a British Embassy to China, with the Exchange of Presents in the Grand Hall of Audience.
