For comprehensiveness and practical servion the Work stands unrivalled. All the words which the Chinese hare of late yours betu compelled to coin to wipross the nameras ob jeota in machinery, photography, telegraphy, and in science generally, which the rapid advance of foreign relations has imposed upon them, are here given in extenso. Each and every word is fully illustrated and explined, forming exercises for students of a most instructive notare. Both the Court and Panti pronunciations are givon the sedents boing earnfily marked on the best principle hitherto attained. The typography displays the success of an attempt to raise the Chinese and English type correspond in the size of body, thereby effecting a vast economy of pace, achieving clearness not previously attained, and dispensing with those vast margine and racant space which have heretofore charao: terized Chinese publications.
