Te illustrate the vast scops of the work, the following facts aresubmitted for consideration - Chalmers Vooabalary contains about 18,000 Chinese characters, and Modhurst's Buglikh and Chinese Diofionary about 100,000, whilst this work contains more than 50,000 English words, and upwards of 600,000 Chinese obarzo. ters. Again, despite all the grammars and other elementary works na yot pablished, the student of this difioult language absolutely re quires examples to display the various appl. cations and equivalents of different words which I have one general meaning. Of these examples this work contains more than five times” KA many a any other Dictionary hitherto pub Ushed.
For practical purposes the arrangement of the work is no complote, that a reference to its pages enables a person who understanda English to comtuunicate aftastical with natives who understand nothing but Chiners. In this respect the work will be found indispensable to all Europeans residing in China, and to the natives themselves it explains subjects fully with which very low indood of them are perfectly acquainted.
