Excerpt from English and Chinese Lessons The Chinese idiom differs so much from the English that a classical English sentence translated into elegant Chinese may not afford the young scholar all the service he desires in arriv ing at the meaning and force of each word of his lesson, there fore, in our endeavor to give as plain and direct a translation as possible, elegance of style has often been sacrificed. Provin cialisms may occasionally be detected in the Chinese portion of the text, but we trust they will not interfere at all with the usefulness of the book, and that it may be of service in teaching our language to any who read Chinese. The work will also be of use to any of our people who wish to acquire a knowledge of the Chinese language. The learner has only to mark with his pencil the sound of the Chinese words, just as he may catch it from any Chinese whom he may be teaching or whom he may call upon for such service.
