Dedication
to the ladies and to the members
of the
mercantile, sea-faring, and sporting
communities of china,
many of whom i have so often heard expressing regret at not knowing
"a few words of chinese,"
or have seen turning away disheartened
from the elaborate systems of learned sinologues,
i offer the following pages.
PREFACE TO FIRST EDITION
The following Lessons and Vocabulary are intended to
assist those who wish to acquire quickly a temporary or
superficial knowledge of the Chinese language as spoken in
the northern provinces, and by educated people all over the
Empire.
The orthography, if such it may be called, is an attempt
to express, so far as possible, Chinese sounds in simple English.
The Chinese vowel-sound il is the only one which cannot
be even approximately expressed, and the reader is therefore
requested to pronounce it like the French uor the German il.
With regard to words like shirt or sir, pronounce exactly
as in English, stopping short at the romanised letters, Le, not
sounding them and observe that, were it not for those roman-
ised letters, si would be pronounced sigh, and slii, shy Thus
hi is to be pronounced as the hi in kine hwi as the qui in quite.
So, whenever a occurs, followed by h, or by h and other
letters, the sound must be always that of the exclamation ah !
Remember, too, that as ow is pronounced throughout as
in the words how and now, show must be read in the same
manner, and not sho, which so and is already provided for.
Again, to is to be pronounced like one's big toe, and not
too and in dzi} and all words ending in i, the i is to be read
like the 9th letter of the alphabet, and not e or any fancy
sound. Above all, not like the y in beauty, that sound being
itself of frequent occurrence,
Be careful to aspirate where an aspirate Js required.
There is a great difference between choo and choo. To make
sure, some speakers pronounce the first almost Yikejoo.
But to multiply observations and rules is to do the very
thing it is so desirable to avoid I therefore leave the rest to
the patience and common sense of those for whom these sentences
and vocabulary have been composed.

H.B.M. Consulate,
Tientsin, 26th October 1872.
In the second edition, the Chinese characters were inserted
but I was prevented by circumstances from reading the proofs,
and many mistakes crept in. These have now been corrected,
and a special chapter on the purchase of curios has been
added.

Thirty years in China have given the author many opportunities
of observing and studying the ^Chinese in almost every aspect of their
life and character and he lias largely availed himself of his personal
experience of them, and of their curious habits aad customs in the
production of this book. He is however also indebted to many writers
on China, whose opinions on certain subjects are well worth reproducing
