THE STUDY OF CHINESE,
A CYNIC has said that advice is generally worth exactly what it costs--that is to say nothing--and, it is to be feared, that, as general rule, this represents the view of those to whom it is offered. For this reason, we confess, we have not been very sanguine as to the results likely to flow from the many reports which have lately been issued by Commercial Attaches, Trade Commis sioners, Consuls and others for the guidance of the British trader in the keen struggle for commercial supremacy which is expect ed to take place in China after the war. We, therefore, wekome the more cordially the indications which are observable that some, at least, of the good seed scattered has not fallen on stony ground, but gives promise of aking root and bearing fruit. One such indication is furnished by the
