prizeiple hitherto attained. The typography displays the success of an attempt to make the Chinese and English type correspond in the size of body, thereby affecting a vast economy of space, achieving a clearness not previously attained, and dispensing with those vast margine and vacant spaces which have heretofore aharas turized Chinese publications.
To illustrate the vast scope of the work the following facts are submittedfor consideration -- Chalmers Vocabulary contains, about 16,000 Chinese characters, and Medhurst's English and Chinoso 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 grammare and other elementary works as yet published, the student of this difficult language absolutely requires ex amples to display the varions 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 hitherio 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. stand nothing but Chinesa. In this respect, the work wi!" found indispensable to all Europeens rosiding China, and to the natives themselves it explains subjects fully with which very few indeed of them are perfectly acquainted. To parties resident in England and interested in China it cannot but be invaluable occasionally.
It comprises upwards of two thousand large quarto payos.
