DICTIONARY. WITH THE PONTI AND MANDARIN PRONUNCIATION.
ཐ
For comprehensiveness and practical servica this Work stands unrivalled. All the new words which the Chinese bave of late years been com- pelled to coin to express the numerous objecte in machinery, photography, telegraphy, and in science generally, which the rapid advance of foreign relations has imposed upon them, are bere given in extenso. Each and every word ia fully illustrated and explained, forming exercises. for students of a most instructive nature, Both the Court and Punti pronunciations are given, the accents being carefully marked on the best principle hitherto attained. The typography displays the success of an attempt to make the Chinese and English type correspond in the size of body, thereby effecting a vast economy of space, achieving a clearness not previously attained, and dispensing with those vast margins and vacant spaces which have heretofore chatso terized Chinese publications.
To illustrate the vast scope of the work tho following facts are submitted for consideration- Chalmers Vocabulary contains about 16,000 Chinese characters, and Medhurst's English nud Chinese Dictionary about 100,000 whilst this work contains more than 50,000 English words, and upwards of 000,000, Chinese characters. Again, despite all the grammars and other elementary works as yet published, the student of this difficult language absolutely requires ex- amples to display the various applications and equivalents of different words which have one general meaning. Of these examples this work contains more than five times as many as any other Dictionary Litherto published.
For practical purposes the arrangement of the. work is so complete that a reference to its pages enables a person who understands English to communicate effectively with natives who under- Estimates given for all kinds of Electrical stand nothing but Chinese. In this respect the work.
work will be found indispensable to all Europeans residing in China, and to the Betives themselves Trained Mechanicians-sent to Ont-Ports to it explains subjects fully with which very few Hongkong French str., 862, Paunier, April 19, it up Installations if required, Kaifeng, British str., 1,024, Pennefather, Apr.
inteed of them are perfectly acquainted. To parties resident in England and interested in Chins it cannot but be invaluable occasionally.
