Excerpt from Western Mandarin, or the Spoken Language of Western China: With Syllabic and English Indexes Scope - The name of the book, The Spoken Language of Western 'china, indicates pretty clearly the scope of the work' It is difficult to draw a line between what is spoken and what is written only. Many phrases used by scholars have been rejected as too bookish, but, on the other hand, nothing has been regarded as too common for insertion. The work contains characters, 112 duplicate characters, 191 words without characters, and examples, including 401 proverbs. The examples have been taken in every case from the lips of the natives. No phrases of foreign origin - religious or otherwise - have been collected, as students can easily obtain such from other sources. Arrangement - The first and chief part of the work is arranged according to the radicals. The second part, which consists of words without characters, is arranged alphabetically. A syllabic index enables the student to find any word from the sound, and an English index gives the advantages of a very full english-chinese dictionary. An appendix on relationships, is an attempt to clear up what many have found to be a somewhat perplexing subject.
