Excerpt from English and Chinese LessonsIn attempts to teach the Chinese to read and speak our language there has been a want of suitable books.After many solicitations, the authors of this little volume undertook the task of preparing the book now Offered to the public.It has been made with two principal facts in view. First That most of the Chinese who will use it are not mere children. But are lads and young men from ten to twenty-five years Of age, and many will use it who are much Older. What they need, therefore, is a book which shall carry them through all the steps of learning, beginning with the alphabet, while at the same time the subjects of the lessens ought to be of a graver character than the simple stories prepared for little children.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
