An Anglo-Chinese Dictionary, published at the Daily Press Office, Hongkong- For comprehensiveness and practical service this Work stands unrivalled. All the new words which the Chinese have of late years brou compelled to goin to express the numerons ok- jotain machinery, photography, Colography, and in science generally, which the rapid advance of foreign reistions has imposed upon them, sre here given in extenss. Each and orezy ward is fully illustrated and explained, forming exercises for studente of a most instructive nature. Both the Court and Punti pronunciations are given, the accents being carefully marked on the heat principle hitherto attained The typography displays the boss of an attempt to make the Chinese and English type correspond in the size af body, thereby efecting a vast economy of spaco, achieving a clearness not previously attained, and dispensing with those vast margins and vacant spaces which have heretofors chamo- terized Chinese pubEcations.
