These twenty-eight sections are the work of Hii Shin, and the commentary thereon is by the younger Sü, excepting that on the 25th section, which is by the elder brother; the sounds of the characters, excepting in the 25th section, are given on the authority of Chú Káu, who was a fellow-cíficer of the younger Sü and of the same rank.
Section 29th contains Iii Shin's own preface,—a translation of which is given in the sequel; following that preface, and completing the sixth of the eight volumes, we have a complete list of the five hundred and forty-one radicals, arranged in the same order as they are treated of in the body of the book by Hii Shin.
Section 30th is a short one, consisting of only a memorial written by Hu Chung, the author's son, and presented to the emperor Ngántí with a copy of his father's Etymologicon, for which, as a token of his Majesty's pleasure and approbation, the presenter was honored with a gift of forty pieccs of cloth, and a rescript from the throne.
The remainder of the forty sections, (from the 31st to the 40th inclusive) are the work of the younger Sü, "the minister Kiái," as he there calls himself. These ten sections, together with the 30th, fill the seventh volume, which includes also, at the end, two or three short prefatory notes.
