THE above work, which has been chiefly com
piled for the purpose of aiding students in the study of Chinese literature, comprises many characters not met with in any of the Dictionarica hitherto published.
The selection of between 8,000 and 9,000 cha- racters will make it comparatively easy to find a character without counting the strokes of the compound figures, (minus the radical), and the addition of the Synonyms will prove a great help to such as are anxious to acquaint themselves more minute'y with the character of the lan- guage.
The work contains 58 4 Imperial Cetavo Pages aid is neatly bound in cloth.
PRICE $8 per Copy.
