PREFACE. 
 
 Most students when beginning to learn the 
 Mandarin dialect must have wished for a small 
 English and Chinese Dictionary, which they 
 could conveniently carry about with them and 
 refer to at will. 
 
 Those who possess a copy of the Rev. Justus 
 Doolittle's Vocabulary and Hand-book of the 
 Chinese Language have no doubt found it very 
 useful in their studies, but it is far too large to 
 be carried about for general use. And as he 
 does not mark the tones the beginner will find it 
 comparatively useless unless he has a teacher at 
 hand to give him the .correct pronunoiation. 
 
 The small dictionary ^ ^ *^ ^, photo-litho- 
 graphed from Kwong Ki-chiu's edition, is a 
 much more convenient volume, but as it contains 
 a mixtum of classical phrases and colloquial 
 words belonging to several different dialects it is 
 
Vreface. 
 
 nofc a safe guide in learning Mandarin ; moreover, 
 as no pronunciation whatever is given it is not of 
 mucli use to beginners. This little book has 
 been compiled by selecting the most common 
 words given in the Rev. Dr. Chalmers' English 
 and Cantonese Dictionary, to which a few more 
 that seemed needful have been added. Students 
 who are disappointed with the book because it 
 does not contain all the words they want, are re- 
 quested to remember that it was never intended 
 to be a work of reference for those who had been 
 many years in China, but rather a help for begin- 
 ners ; the number of words has been limited to 
 3,500, that the book may be printed in good type 
 and yet in a handy form, and that its price may 
 be within the reach of all who are studying the 
 Chinese language. 
 
 The characters have been romanized ac- 
 cording to Dr. Wells Williams' Syllabic Dic- 
 tionary of the Chinese Language. The system 
 has been much criticized, and no doubt it is not 
 perfect, bub no system will hold good for all 
 Mandarin-speaking districts, and as nearly all 
 
 ( vi) 
 
Freface. 
 
 students of the dialect use Di\ Williams' diction- 
 ary and are accustomed to his spelling, it seemed 
 better to follow that rather than to adopt any- 
 less generally known, or than to add yet another 
 to the many systems already in use. 
 
 It may be a help to some in remembering the 
 tones and aspirates to note that words in the 
 lower level tone (T* ^) are always aspirated, if 
 the initial admits of their being so. 
 
 The system of orthography given below is 
 taken from the Introduction to Dr. Williams' 
 dictionary. Where the Hankow pronunciation is 
 decidedly different it is given after the other in 
 brackets. 
 
 Vowels, 
 a as in father. 
 
 a as in quota [many of the words written 
 mang and p'ang are pronounced mung 
 and p'ung.] 
 e as in men [eh, when not preceded by i, is 
 pronounced as e in the French word 
 le. In chen, ch'en and shen e is pro- 
 nounced as a in father,] 
 
 ( vii ) 
 
Preface, 
 
 6 as in grey [after ch, j and sh as in the 
 French word le.] 
 
 i as in pin, 
 
 i final as in machine [chi and chih are pro- 
 nounced like tsz, ch4 and ch'ih like 
 ts% and shi and shih like sz.] 
 
 o as in long or as aw in law [in many of the 
 words written hoh, hwoh, koh, k'oh, 
 moh, ngoh, poh, p'oh, and shwoh it is 
 pronounced as e in the French word le.] 
 
 u as in put [un is pronounced like uin, in chun, 
 ch'un, jun, shun, and yun.] 
 
 u final (or before h) as oo in fool [after 1, n, s, 
 t, and ts as eu, after j, ch, and sh as eu 
 or ii.] 
 
 ii as in June [as in the French word du.] 
 
 Diphthongs, 
 ai as in aisle. 
 
 ao as ow in howl, prolonged. 
 6i as ey in grey. 
 
 eu as ou in souse [more like o in so.] 
 iai, each letter sounded [as ai.] 
 iao, each letter funded. 
 
 ( viii ) 
 
Freface. 
 
 ie as ill siesta. 
 
 io as yaw in yawn. 
 
 iu as ew in pew [as eo in Eolian.] 
 
 lie as in duet [as ie.] 
 
 iii as ewy in dewy [as ei.] 
 
 Consonants. 
 
 Tlie consonants are pronounced as in English, 
 ])ufc in Hankow ch is often confounded with ts. 
 
 h as an initial is a sligljt guttural, except 
 before i and ii, when it has a sibiUxnt 
 sound easily confounded with sh. 
 
 j as in the French jamais [as y or as a soft r.] 
 
 [k before i or ii is pronounced like cli.] 
 
 1 and n are frequently interchanged. 
 
 'rhe tones are marked in the usual Chinese 
 manner, thus : —
