For comprehensiveness and practical service this Week stenrls unrivalled. All the mƏTY- words which the Chinese love of late years bean compelled to coin to express the numerous ob- - jects in machinery, photography, telegraphy, and in soimee generally, which the rapid advance of foreign relations has imposed upon them, are here given in extenso. Each and every word is fully llustrated and explained, forming exercises for students of a most instructive nature. Both the Court and Punti pronunciations are given the accents being carefully marked on the best→ principle hitherto attained. The typography displays the success of an attempt to make the Chinese and English type correspond in the size of body, thereby effecting a vast economy of space, achieving clearness not previously attained, and disposing with these rast margins. and vacant spaces which have heretofora ebarae, tarizod Chinese publication,
To illustrate the vast scope of the work the following facts are submitted forconsideration:- Chalmers Vocabulary contains about 16,000 Chinese characters, and Medhurst's English and Chinese Dictionary about -100.000, whilst this work contains more thas 50.000 English words, and upwards of 600,000 Chiasso oharco tern Again, despite all the grammars and other elementary works as yet published, the studant of this diftonkt langunga absolutely re- quires examples to display the various appli estions and equivalents of Afferent words which 121 have one general insaning.
