7MPERIAL QUARTO
AND
CHINESE DICTIONARY. WITH THE PUNTI AND MANDARIN PRONUNCIATION. For comprehensiveness and practical service. this Work stands unrivalled. All the new words which the Chinese have of lato years been com pellsd le coin to express the numerous objects in machinery, photography, telegraphy, and in science generally, which the rapid advance of foreign relations has imposed upon them, are here gives in extenso. Each and every word it 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 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 clearnosa ust previously altained, and dispensing with those vast margins and vacant spaces which have heretofore texized Chinese
publications.

To illustrate the vast scope of the work the following facts are submittel for consideration Chaine Vocabulary contains about 16,000 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 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 on general moaning. Of these examples this work contains more than five times as many as any other Dictionary hitherto pablished.
For pratie purposes the arrangement of the Work inte that a reference to its pages enables a
person, who understands English to communicate effectively with nativos was ander- ag but Chinese. In this respect the stand nothing and indispensable to all Europeans work will be residing in China, and to the natives themselves it explains subjects fully with which very few Par Dex indeed of them are perfectly acquainted.
