To illustrate the vast scope of the work, the following foots are submitted for consideration:- Chalmers' Vocabulary contains about 15,000 Chinese characters, and Medhurst's English and Chinese Dictionary about 100,000, whilst this work contains more than 50,000 English words, and upwards of 600,000 Chinese charan tora: Again, despite all the grammars aud other elementary works as yet published, the student of this diffoult language absolutely re- quires examples to display the various appli sations and equivalents of different' words which have ona general meaning.
