"The Century Dictionary" contains defini- tions of 215,000 words, several thousand Illus- trations, and 22 Special Dictionaries in one Universal Dictionary.

This Standard Work on the Chinese Language, constructed on the basis of Kanghi's Imperial Dictionary, contains all Chinese characters in practical use, and while alphabetically arranged according to the sounds of the oldest dialect of China, the Cantonese, it gives also the Mandarin pronunciation of all characters explained in the book, so that its usefulness is by no means con- fined to the Cantonese Dialect, but the work is a for-practically complete Thesaurus of the whole

The Standard says: "It is a work of great ability, fine scholarship, and patient research in many widely different departments of learning."
