ENGLISH AND CHINESE DICTIONARY,

WITH THE

PUNTI AND MANDARIN PRONUNCIATION.

An AxoLo-CHINESE DICTIONARY, by the Rev. W. LOBSCHEID, published at the Daily Preas Office, Hongkong.

FOR scope and practical service this Work

stands unrivalled. All the new words which the Chinese have of Inte years been com- pelled to coin to express the numerous objecte in machinery, photography, telegraphy, and in Bierge generally, which the rapid advance of foreign relations has imposed upon them, are bere given in extenso. Each and every word in fally illustrated and explained, forming exer cises for students of a most instructive nature. Both the Court and Punti pronunciations ar given, the accents being carefully marked on the best principle hitherto attained. The typo

aphy displays the auccess of an attempt to make the Chinese and English type correspond

n the use of body, thereby affecting a vant economy of space, aouiering a clearness not previously attained, and dispensing with those vaat margins and vacant spaces which bave heretofore obaracterized Chineso publications.

The soupe of tho work is so great, and ita Dtilitarian purposes eo complete, that a re- ference to its pages enables & juru who understands English to communicate effectively with nativos who understand nothing but Chi neae. In this respect the work will be found indispensable to all. Europeans residing in China, and to the natives themuslves it ex- Plaine aubjects fully, with which very few in- dred of them are perfcotly uoquainted. To parties resident in England and interested in China it cannot but be invainable occasionally. It comprises upwards of two thousand large grarlo pages,
