Ib rvprinttng th* Second Part of Morrison's Dictionary, regard 
hM bo0a bad chiefly to the sapply of a preasing want. There is a 
growiag •oardty of workii of thin kind, while the namber of Chi- 
DtM rtadaaU u iocrtMuiin)^ from yoar to jcar. 

The 8«oood Part of Morrison's Dictionary haa been generally 
oomrocoded by cxpcricncvd Sinologues as the moat porfoct and usc> 
fal oft' ' ' The prcttciit i« moruly a rvprint of it, with such 
alight • . in<i Ri< UH' iiu'fitioiicxl Ht the close of the ori^^Mnnl 

pn&OB. It might have Inn-n j>o5sihlp to make many ultenitiong 
and amendments in lh«« work, but tht's*' would have rcquirtxi so 
much time and lal>our, as could scarcely have been spared for the 
parpoAc. Desidoa the work itself is regarded as of such rare ex- 
CcHonci\ aa to 1>« amplj' nnffiricnt to meet the prevailing want of 
the timet. For all ordinary purposes, it is a question if the remo- 
delling of the book wouUl have provoil more snitable than it now 
U. At all CTcnta, the obj«<ct ix)ntcmplat<Ml by the reprint could only 
lie met by aa close an adherence to the original as possible, and it 
is gonermUy avowed that it is a work which has not been exceeded, 
if even equalled, in philological value, by anything that bus 
hitherto apj>oared. Profi^Hsor .lulieti of Paris designates this se- 
cond |»ari of Morrison's Dii-tiotiary, as ''without dispute, the best 
Chinese DK^tiouiiry o»mposud in a European language." 

The basis on which the work wa.** primarily constructed, and the 
Tiows of th« author in the matter, are conci.scly stated in the origi- 
n&l Preface, portions of which are given herewith. As in the in*

trodaction to the first part of tho Dictionary, some aoootml might 
have been furnished of the orij^n, nature and hiHtory of the Chi- 
Dt*e lanjfuatfc, bat a reference thereto can easily be made, and ra- 
rioui other works have been pnhlished on tho guhjcct, which are 
gToatly witliin tho reach of all. Tlio expense and character of the 
pr.aent reprint, will, it is believed, render it acceptable lo many, 
ami ttjixl to uittku tho study of the Chinese language and lituraluro 
more general and practicable, than it might otiienriM have been. 



ORIGINAL PREFACE. 

(UUOUTLT A£IUO0£J>.) 



TV ChioMe Work, S.l$.^Kf Woo-ch'ay-yun-foo, on which 
the followinjf Part of the Dictionary i? fouuded, was compiled by 
W yC It Ch'in ihVh finp, who is Paid to have spent his life in 
nmking the col!e<'tion of worda contained in it; and to have died 
bi-fore itc puMicfttion. He coromitlod bis manuscript to the care 
of hid pupil ^ — p^ Ilan TTh-hoo, who travelled over the wholo 
empire in order to verify it, and add to it. 

Some of Ch'in i^^-u king's papils roi»e to eminent situations in 
the Rtatc; and when tiie Emperor J^ jtft K'anp-he projected the 
fcrmation of bin Dictionary, one of them, f^ fj^ j|^ Pwan Ying- 
piD, meotionrd to tliat great monarch the work of his master. Af- 
ter much soarch, it wan at lat<t fuund jct uupuhlislied in the hands 
of Ilan Ylb-boo. Cotifiderahte use Nx<ms to have been made of it 
in tite compilation nf K^anghe's Dictionar}-, for the definition is of- 
ten rerbatim in both. 

PwMi Ying-pin, mentii^ned above, encouraged the publication of 
the work, and wrote a preface to it. He there gives it as his opi- 
■iou, tliat there an* in Chinci^?, including synonymous words, and 
diflcreot fomu of the Mune character in the plain hand, fifty thou- 
HDd charactcrti; and taking in every variety of accentuation, that 
there are from four to five thousand enunciated words; and if sounds, 
for which no charact«re exist, bo included, he thinks there are five 
thooMod words. 

In the original, the nrrangrment is according to the sounds and 
the tone*; but the charact4^rs pn^noiinced alike, and which differ on- 
ly in accent, are placed in different volumes, and divided with so 



VI 



with a great sacrifice of time, it is probable that considerable pro- 
gress may be made in the language; but these arc helps which few 
can command; and what may be practicable in that case, becomes 
impossible to those who are differently circumstanced. 

From this view of the question, the author is still convinced, that 
with the exception of a few pai-agraph?, as much of the Dictionary 
as has been published, is rather too concise than too diffuse. To com- 
pare it with a dictionary of a language, intended for the inhabitants 
of a countiy, to whom that language is vcniacular, and to whom 
all the allusions contained in the Inngunge arc more or less familiar, 
— will lead to an erroneous conclusion. And, since Grecian and 
Roman story is familiar to the inhal)itants of Europe, to compare 
it with Greek and Latin dictionaries, will also mislead the judg- 
ment. The Chinese are an original j>eople. Their modes of think- 
ing and reasoning are original; and are often widely different from 
those of Europeans; which difference is sometimes amusingly appar- 
ent in the disquisitions of European writers, who try to trace the 
motives of Chinese conduct in various ca.'^es. Some writers attri- 
bute a train of thinking and judging to the Chinese, which a very 
slight acquaintance with the miyid of China would convince them 
never existed. And an ignorance of the usages and mind of China, 
will always subject a foreigner to a misapprehension of their langu- 
age, in anything that is a little more recondite than, hand a chair; 
— or bring a plate. 

Without assuming tliat the orthography adopted is the best pos- 
sible, it is affirmed that to enable a person to judge, it is requisite 
that he first spell all the Chinese words; for to judge of single words 
only will mislead and subject him to the absurdity of giving the 
same spelling for different sounds. 

In extenuation of the stiffness and occasional harshness of the style 
in this work, it may be said, that as long as the sense of the English 
sentence is apparent, a literal and idiomatic translation of Chinese 
sentences is much better for a student, than a free and vague trans- 
lation, which contains generally the idea of the original, but nothing 
of the manner. A man who wants to IcAm the language of Con- 
fucius, had better heai* him with a little of his Chinese idiom (cmll 
it broken English if you will), than listen to him speaking in the most 
classical English style. Although a free translation is always more 



vu 



unite a close rendering with perspicuity, is sometimes impracticable, 
—in such cases more fi-cedom must be used. 

As to the utility or importance of the Chinese language, it does 
not well become the ^vriter to s})eak much in its favour. It has 
been said, that "it must be left to merchants and to missionaries to 
toil their way through the wilderness of the Chinese language to the 
deserts of Chinese literature."* This is the language of narrow pre- 
judice, ignorant of the subject of which it speaks, juid will not weigh 
much with those who can view the human s])ecies with more liberal 
sentiments, than such as are dictated by merely national or European 
feelings. Without insisting on the fact, Uiat tliere are Wautiful 
pieces of poetr}-; interesting and instructive portions of histoiy and 
biograpliy; and iuipurtant mond maxims in Chinese, as well as in 
Other languages; tliat it is a language amongst the most ancient and 
the most extensive/// known on earth; that it is the living language 
of five nations, which together, constitute one third of mankind;— 
not to insist on tliese circumstances, I would now recommend ano- 
tlier view of the sul»ject. 

It is not the sole ([uestion which the virtuous member of a family 
puts to himself, — will this lienefit met He also asks in reference to 
any course of action, — will this do good to my fjunily? The true 
patriot goes beyond his fjunily occasionally, and does what he thinks 
for the l»enefit of his country, though not to the interest of his pwn 
family; and llie truly good man, sometimes does that which is an 
inconvenience to himself, or which does not benefit his family, or 
bis country immediately, but which is calculated eventually to bene- 
fit mankind. Whilst Christendom has furnished many individuals 
who have clicrishcd a real and pnictical general l)enevolence, it has 
seldom or never entered into the views of leai-ned bodies, or national 
councils, occa.'^ionally to act solely for the benefit of others. Scho- 
lai's often ask, what they are to get by learning Chinese; but sup- 
posing there be nothing to learn, have Euro|U'an scholars nothing to 
teach? — has it never occurred to them as individuals or as societies, 
to learn Asiatic languages for the pnqx)se of writing books of science 
and of general lit<.'rature in those languages ? If they, whose 
muids have l^een illumined with the cheering beams of science, will 
not sometimes learn foreign languages for the purpose of commuoi- 



* Eclectic Review. 



Till 

4?Ating it, how is it to be expected that those who yet gro|)e in clarib> 
noss^ rihould be at the trouble to learn a foreigu language for the 
sake of that knowledge, of which they cannot perceive the value? 
If raen continue to act on thia principle, thy progress of scieuce 
must indeed be plow. 

England, Araerioa, (France and Russia) have at present, most 
intercourse with China; and their pecuniary iutereata »re mo»4 
concerned. The Dutoh also rule over an extensive colony of Chi- 
nese, in Java. Is it oxpootingf too much of these several (fovenu 
meuts to devote a few hundred pound' annually, to the cultivation 
of the language of the people with whom they have extensive deaU 
ings? Is it too much to ask them to give some ex)9t<»noe in their 
publio schools to a language, which contains mnny thousand to. 
Imnes of original literature? Will the c<ill»^g«i» and univeraitlM 
themselves not allow of any appropriation of tlmir f\iiuli, nor any 
encouragement to their leisure members to ntt*nd to Uiia 8uhjtH.'t? 

Till a few individuals of correct sentiments and feelings, whoao 
sole profession is litcratun' and seieuoo, be iupporied l)y ilieir res- 
pective governments, or learned societies, to Btmly and teach the 
Chinese language, its character cannot be fairly estimated, nor 
can European science be transfused into it. The mind of nmn is 
bat limited. Merchants and missionaries have other objooba to 
attend to besides language, literature, and science. They are not 
therefore to be hastily blamed, because they do not perform all 
that is desirable. 

The sentiments of Chinese sages and moralist* are quite in fk- 
▼our of peaceable endeavours to communicate the knowledge on« 
man possesses to another; nor can they, according to their own 
principles ever blame it. They have indeed sometimes acted on 
the principle both in ancient and motlern times. Confucius travel, 
led to instruct and civilize others ; and the reigning dynasty sent 
an envoy to Loo-choo, to advise that district schools should be os. 
tablished on those islands, and that the King should reward, by 
his favour and countenance, the diligent students. Standard ChJ- 
pese writers blame the selfishness, which under various plausible 
pretexts would hide the light of truth, or fbrbid its being exhibited 
to the views of mankind ; and their moralists enjoin the virtuoui 
^ print and distribute widelv good books. It is true, that their 



IX 



benevolent doctrines are but rarely seen in their practice ; but it 
is not to justify what they do, that their sentiments are here in- 
troduced, but to shew that they also inculcate the opinion, that we 
»hould not always act merely from a regard to ourselves. 

This doctrine is perhaps universally acknowledged in respect of 
individuals, and as it is equally true of large communities and of 
nations; the more it is adopted and acted on by these, just in the 
same proportion will peace and order prevail throughout the world, 
and ultimate happiness, the wish of every heart, be generally dif. 
fused. 



ANOMALIES AND MODIFICATIONS in the ORTHOGRAPHY. 

1. Chung and Tsftng, Cho and Tso, are sometimes confounded 

with each oUier. 

2. G, in the original edition is changed into Ng in the present 

edition, as ('ih into ygih or Xgrh. 

3. K, in the Peking dialect, before e^and i, is pronounced as 
" Ch and Ts; thus King, is turned into Ching; and Keang, 

becomes Tsoang. 

4. H, before e and /, is by some pronounced as Sh and S; thus 

He, becomes She. and Ileo, is changed to Seft. 

5 Man and Mwan; Pan and Pwan, are confounded. 

6. Tsoo and Choo; We and Wei; Me and Mei, are also con- 
founded. 

The reprint was commenced on the principle of the original, 
without a distinctive representation of the aspirates, but from an 
early period their importance was recognized, and they were ac. 
oordingly introduced. Proper attention however has been given 
to the matter in the index of characters, at the close of the second 
volume.
