Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from English and Chinese Reader: With a Dictionary
This Reader contains nearly 1500 different words. The lessons are graded as slowly, as the limited space, and introduction of as many new words as possible would allow. The lessons are on a vai'iety oof sabj-cots and include a great mangfiissn'tenncs.511§ed conversation. Gospel truths have been' introduced as far as practicable. The Chinese portion is in the Canton dialect, which is the spoken language of the Chinese in America, Australia, and the Sandwich Islands. The object of using this dialect, instead of the more elegant style of their language, is to give the learner the meaning of the English in plain and simple words, such as he himself would use in expressing the same thing.
