PRONUNCIATION.
An Angle Chinese Dictionary, published at
Daily Press Odine, Hongkongy For comprehensiveness and practical service this Work stands unrivalled. All the now words which the Chinese have of Iste rears teen compelled to scia.to ospross the numerous.ob- fects in machinery, photography, telegraphy, and in wience generally, which the rapid advance of foreiga relations has imposed upon them, are Lare given in extenso. Each and every word is fully illustrated and explained, forming exercises for students of a most instructive nature. Both the Court and Panti pronunciations are given the accents being carefully marked on the best principle hitherto attained. The typography displays the ascoes of an attempt to make the Chinese and Englah typo correspond in the size of body, thereby affecting a vast economy of space, achieving a clearness not previously 157 attained, and dispensing with these vast margins and vacout spaces which have heretofore ebame torized Chinese publications.
