To illustrate the vast scope of the work the following facts are submittedforconsideration Chalmers Vocabulary contains about 16,000 Chinese characters, and Medhurst's English and Chinese Dictionary about 100.000 whilst this work contains more than 30,000 English words and upwards of 600,000, Chinese obaracter Again, despite all the grammars and other elementary works as yet published, the student of this difficult language absolutely requires or- amples to display the various applications and equivalents of different words which have on general meaning. Of these examples this work contains more than five times as many as any other Dictionary hitherto published.

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

It comprises upwards of two thousand large buarto pages.
