WITH THE PUNTI AND MANDARIN PRONUNCIATION.

For comprehensiveness and practical service this Work stands aurivalled. All the now words which tho Chinese have of late years been com- pelled to coin to express the numerous objects ir machinery, photography, telegraphy, and in which the rapid advance of generally, foreign relations has imposed upon them, are here given in extenso. Each and every word is fully illustrated and explained, forming exercises for students of a most instructive nature. Both the Court and Punti pronunciations are given, the acvents being carefully marked on the best principle hitherto attained. The typography displays the encoess of an attempt to make the Chinese and English type correspond in the size of body, thereby effecting a vast economy of space, achieving a clearness not previously attained, and dispensing with those vast margins and vacant spaces which have heretofore share- terized Chinese publications-

THE MANAGER- Hongkong, 4th January, 1904.

To illustrate the vast scope of the work the following facts are submittedfor consideration: Chalmers Vocabulary contains shout 16.000 Chinese characters, and Medhurst's English and Chinese Dictionary about 100.000 whilst this work contains more than 50,000 English words and upwards of 600,000, Chinese characters Again, despite all the grammars and other elementary works as yet published, the student of this difficult language absolutely requires ex- amples to display the various applications and NEW equivalents of different words which have one. general meaning. Of these examples this werk contains more than five times as many as asy High other Dictionary hitherto published,

For practical purposes the arrangement of the work is so complete that a reference to its pages a person who understands English to enables a communicate effectively with natires who under- stand nothing but Chinese. In this respect the work will be found indispensable to all Europoons residing in Chins, and to the natives themselves it explains subjects fully with which very faw indeed of them are perfectly soquainted. To partios resident in England and interested in China cannot but be invaluable occasionally.

It comprises upwards of two thousand large quarto pages.
