The words are first given in Chinese; then pronunciation of such words, written in English; then the meaning of such words in the English language; and lastly, the pronunciation of the English will enable foreigners to learn Chinese. As the words are arranged under different headings, references can easily be made. This book also contains a copy of the Tariff, and many other useful tables, such as times and seasons, weights and measures, &c.”. Heavy book, weight: 3.2 lb. may require extra shipping.”””””””.
