WITH THE PUNTI AND MANDARIN PRONUNCIATION. For comprehensiveness and practical servico this Work stands unrivalled. All the now words which the Chinese have of late years been com- pelled to coin to express the numerous objects in machinery, photography, telegraphy, and in soierce generally, which the rapid advance of foreign rolatious bas imposed upon them, are hers given in extenze. Each and every word is fally illustrated and explained, forming exercises for students of a most instructive nature. Both the Court and Punti pronciations are given, the accents being carefully mascked on the best principle hitherto attained. The typography displays the success of an attempt to russe the Chinese and English type correspond in the size of body thereby effecting a vast economy of attained, and dispensing with those vast margins space, achieving clearness not previously and vacant spaces which have heretofore charao- terized Chinese publications.
To illustrate the vast scope of the work the following facts are submitted for consideration ;-` Chalmers Vocabulary contains about 16,000 Chinese characters, and Medharet's English and 1st Floor, 37, Connaught Road Chinese Dictionary about 100.000 whilst this Bougkang. 13th June, 1903.
