 The object of the author in publishing this little volume, is to enable 
 all classes of citizens to acquire an elementary and practical knowledge 
 of the spoken language of the Cantonese dialect. 
 
 This is the dialect most generally understood by all classes of Chinese 
 immigrants on the Pacific coast and elsewhere, as nearly all such immi- 
 grants are from the Canton district ； the comparatively few who come 
 from other districts soon become, through a necessary and continual in- 
 tercourse with the Cantonese, familiarized, with the accent and pronunci- 
 ation of the latter. So that a man well versed in this dialect may be 
 readily understood by all the Chinese ； as the Chinese almost without ex- 
 ception read their language, the indication of the proper sentence will 
 readily be understood by them. 
 
 It will also be found sufficient in communicating with the merchants 
 and educated classes of Japan, as they understand the Chinese characters. 
 
 The author has been induced to undertake this publication by what 
 seemed to him a daily increasing necessity, consequent upon the extended 
 craployraent of Chinese, and the now established regular line of commu- 
 nication with China and Japan. 
 
 The work is adapted to practical use in business and social life, and 
 as such is respectfully submitted to the public.

 Tuk Vekb. ― Moods and tenses, as such, are quite unknown to the 
 Chinese. No distinction is made between active and passive verbs ； nor 
 are the persons or numbers noticed at all by them. The context and the 
 circumstances under 、、- hidi any thing is said are the chief guides to the 
 exact sense of any passage. Time and mode are very clearly shown by 
 the meaning of the whole sentence, or by the conditions under which it 
 has been uttered. 
 
 " To- morrow 1 shall go " would bo expressed in Chinese by '• to-mor- 
 row I go ；" " yesterday 1 came ，， would be expressed by " yesterday I 
 
 come/-

 Companies of brains as well as capital, and a thorough knowledge of and an 
 intimate acquaintance with the business as well as assets— Companies that 
 are uniform in their rates, economical in their management, and prompt in 
 the payment of losses. Such institutions are the Phcemx and JCtna Insu-

 THIS INSTITUTE IS DESIGNED TO PREPARE BOYS AND MEN 
 
 For Business Pursuits, 
 
 And to impart a thorough 
 
 Commercial Education. 
 
 It is conducted upon actual business principles. The student, upon entering 
 the College, 
 
 Is furnished with a Capital in Cash and Merchandise, 
 
 Rents a place of business, opens an account with the bank, insures his goods 
 with the insurance office of the College, and enters upon the arena of business. 
 He 
 
 Commences Speculation, 
 
 Carrying out all the details of trade ― buying and selling goods, depositing in 
 and checking from the bank, making and negotiating notes, drafts, bills of 
 exchange, etc., recording the transactions and keeping the books in a regular 
 and scientific manner. From this he advances to other capacities, until he 
 finally takes his position in the 
 
 Union Business College Bank, 
 
 A regularly established institution, complete in all its appointments, and 
 having a circulation of 
 
 One Million in College Currency. 
 
 This course saves frotn four to six weeks' time in copying useless manuscripts. 
 
 PENMANSHIP. 
 
 Prof. F. SEREGNI, our instructor in Penmanship, is well known to be a 
 thorough and systematic teacher ； and no College at present on this coast, 
 advertising to teach Penmanship, has ever taught the same by a regular plan, 
 and we unhesitatingly declare, that for practical and thorough instruction in 
 this branch, we challenge competition. 
 
 TELEGRAPHING. 
 
 The large and increasing demand for good Telegraph Operators has in- 
 duced us to organize a separate department for thorough instructions in this 
 branch, and we are now enabled to present advantages in this line equal to 
 any that can be offered on the continent. 
 
 There is no vacation, and students can enter upon any businoss clay during 
 the year. The public are invited to call and examine the various departments. 
 Sessions day and evening.
