Edition & evidence
This is the corrected August working catalogue, not a final physical bibliography. Later September re-readings are presented separately in the GSS research dossier. Dating candidates, locations, interpretations, and unresolved readings are preserved as distinct evidence layers.
The English commentary accompanies the preserved Chinese record. Quoted historical wording and unidentified characters are retained; candidate readings remain provisional.

Analysis in the August edition
The 1904 date and explicit 大清国广西 make this a useful Guangxi comparison case, helping avoid interpreting every instance of mixed writing as evidence of cross-border origin.
Evidence limits and unresolved readings
大清国广西 reaches only provincial level; do not supply a precise copying site.
