    • 1854 July, Callery and Yvan, “History of the Insurrection in China; with Notices of the Christianity, Creed, and Proclamations of the Insurgents”, in John Oxenford, transl., North American Review‎, volume LXXIX, number CLXIV, Boston: Crosby, Nichols, and Company, page 187:
      On the 12th of January, the city of Ou-tchang, the capital of the Hou-pe, fell into the hands of the rebels; and the news of this reverse sufficed to spread fear and confusion far and wide among the friends of the government, who occupied themselves in assembling the discordant and frequently licentious population that were willing to enroll themselves under the imperial banners.
