PREFACE TO FIRST EDITION.

The following Lessons and Vocabnlary 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, as far as possible, Chinese sounds in simple English.

The Chinese vowel-sound n is the only one which cannot be
even approximately expressed, and the reader is therefore requested
to pronounce it like the French ii, or the German il.

With regard to words like shirt or sii-, pronounce exactly as in
English, stopping short at the romanised letters, i.e., not sounding
them ; and observe that, were it not for those romanised letters, si
would be pronounced sigh, and shi, shy. Thus Id is to be pronounced
as the ki in line; kwi 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 oiv is pro-
nounced throughout as in the words how and now, shoio must be
read in the same manner, and not sho, which sound is already
provided for. Again, to is to be pronounced like one's big toe, and
not too; and in clzi, and all words ending in ?', the i is to be read
like the 9th letter of the alphabet, and not e or any fancy sound.
A-bove all, not like the y in beauty, that sound being itself of
frequent occurrence.

Be careful to aspirate where an aspirate is required.

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, A. GILES.

H.B.M's Consulate,

Tientsin, 26</i October 1872.

To the above it is only necessary to add that in the present
edition the Chinese characters have been added, whereby it is hoped
that the practical usefulness of the book will be very much
enhanced.
