ENGLISH AND CHINLAY DICTIONARY, with the Panti and Msa-- darin Pronunciation. By the Rer. W Lobscheid, Knight of Francis Joseph; OMI.R.G.B.A.; HZRS.V., &, do, te Part 1 Hongkong, printed and published at the Daily Press Office, Wyndham Street, 1869, 4to. bds. pp. 1419 to 2014, R to Z.

At intervala during the last two years. it has fallen to our lot to notice the successive parts of the English and Chinese Dictionary" undertaken by Mfr Lobscheid; and of this work the fourth and concluding part has now been issued from the press. Beyond all question, one of the foremost literary wants of the day at least in this portion of the world-la the production of a trust- worthy and copians Chinese Dictionary: and if of the numerons sound, and deeply-read scholars who, during the last twenty years, have made reputations for themselves as minologues, not one has ventured upon the gigantic task of pre- paring such a work, the raison may Ins found, most probably, in the appalling bugeness of the undertaking, considered merely in a literary point of view, to which auust be added, moreover, the financial difficultion that oppose a for- midable” obataale to the issue of so large and complicated a publication. The requirementa to be satisfied by an ideal Chinese Dictionary have been often

Tevelopment in China has certainly been far less rapid than with ourselves; but the language has been growing for twenty-four ventet ries against our four, and in this S paralleled period of inbroken cont nuity it has passed through many stage, from the crabbed tersanem ta which the Confucian maxima bave been transmitted, down to the cont posite structure and elaborate polish of the modern official style, Metaphy rics and philosophy have, as is only natural, an entire vocabulary of their own, history its own technical forms of expression, poetry a rich exuberance of epithets and metaphors; whilst govern ment luxury, commerce, and the useful. arts, engross a bewildering multitude of special phrases of their own.
