Both the Court and Punti pronunciations are given, the accents being carefully marked on the bast principle hitherto attained. The typography displays the success of an attempt to wake the Chinese and English type correspond in the size
body, thereby affecting a vast economy of attained, and dispersing with those vast margins space, achieving a clearness not previously and vacant spaces which have heretoforo charas torized Chinese publications.
