Each and every word is for students of a most instructive nature. Both tally illustrated and explained, forming exercises the Court and Band pronunciations are given the accents being vurefully marked on the best principle hitherto attained. The typography displays the success of so attempt to make the Chinese and English type correspond in the sixe of body, thereby effecting a vast economy of space, achieving a clearness not provianely attained, and dispensing with those vant margins and vacant space which have horstefore obsraz- terized Chinese publications.
To illustrate the vast mope of the work the following facts are submitted forconsideration--- Chalmers Vocabulary contains about 15.000 There will be no Launch on Monday and Chinese obarantors. and Modhuist's English Friday, on account of coaling.
