R comprubensiveness and practica: arrice this Work stands unrivalled. All
words which the Chinese have of late gets been compelled to coin to express the numerous ob jectsin machinery, photography, telegraphy, and in science generally, which the rapid advanOS of foreign relations has imposed upon then, are bere given externo. Buch nad every word is fully illustrated and explained, forming exer
·cises for students of a most instructive nature. Both the Court and Panti pronunciations are giver, the accents being carefully marked on the best principle hitherto attained. Turtypo graphy displays the success of an attempt to make the Chinese and English type compond in the aise of body, thereby affecting i rest vonomy of space, achieving a clears not previously attained, and dispensing with the vast margins and vacant spacea whit huve beretofore characterized Chinese publications. To illustrate the vast scopa of the won, the Following facts are submitted for conaidustion. Chalicers' Vocabulary contains about 16,000 Chinese ebaracters, and Medanrat's Eglish. and Chinese Dictionary about 100,000, whilst thia work containe more than 30,000 English words, and upwards of 600,000 Chinese parad ters.

Of these examples this work contains more than five times au
many as any other Dictionary hithere pub

For practical purposes be arrangemat of the work is so complete, that a rerence to ite pages anables a person who mder- stands English to communicate tinely with natives who understand nothing but Chi- zene. In this respect the work will befound China, and to the natives themselves it ex- plains subjecia fully with which very low in dred of them are perfectly acquainted To parties resident in England and intereerd in Ching it connct bat be invaluable occasionlly.
