    Now ready , 8 vo . cloth , 21 s . A Dictionary of English Phrases . WITH ILLUSTRATIVE SENTENCES . With , collections of English and Chinese Proyerbs , translations of Latin and French Phrases , historical sketch of the Chinese Empire , a chronological list of the Chinese Dynasties , taief "biographical sketches of Conf ttcins and of Jesus , and complete Index . By KWONG KI CHIU , Late Member of the Chinese Educational Mission in the United States , and formerly Principal Teacher of English in the Government School at Shanghai , China . * The work fills a gap in English , lexicography , and meets a want which has long "been felt—a work which will be of the greater practical value in that it is the result of the author ' s own experience of the deficiencies of existing books as regards the explanation of the almost endless idioms and phrases in every-day use in our language . As a collection of idiomatic phrases , it would be difficult to overrate its merits ; but the reflection that it is the work not of an English but of a Chinese scholar , one of a nation so widely differing from our own in . every particular , while it increases their wonder , is surely one to cause thoughtful men to pause and ponder . ' —Athenceum . " From the Hartford Courant , U . S . —The volume shows great industry and apprehension of our language , and is one of the most curious and interesting of linguistic works . ' London : SAMPSON LOW , MAHSTON , SBABLE , & HIVINGTOIST , Croirn Buildings , 188 Fleet Street , E . C . ( 354 )
