PREFACE.
IN the Introduction to the First Part of this Dictionary, a general Yiew was exhibited of' the Origin, Nature,
and History of the Chinese Language j any part of which it is unnecessary here to repeat.
The Chinese Work, Woo-chay - jun-foo^. jft n|j ffi °» which the following Part of the Dictionary is founded,
was compiled by Chin 5een-sSng Bjft -4p /fc who is said to have spent his life in making the collection of words contained
in it ; and to have died before its publication. He committed his Manuscript to the care of his pupil Han-yih-hoo
'tJl' ~~* lM w^° trave"e(' over tne whole empire in order to verify it, and add to it.
Some of Chin Seen-sang's pupils rose to eminent situations in the state ; and when the Emperor Kang-he
projected the formation of his Dictionary, one of them, Pwan-ying-pin 5gJL Jjj£ 2C* mentioned lo that great Monarch the work
of his Master. After much search.it was at last found yet unpublished in the hands of Hanylh-hoo. Considerable use
icems to have been made of it in the compilation of ffanghe't Dictionary, for the definition is often verbatim in both.
Pwan-ying-pin, mentior.ed above, encouraged the publication of the Work, and wrote a Preface to it. He there gife»
it as his opinion, that there are in Chinese, including synonimous words, and different forms of the same Character in the
plain hand, Fifty Thousand Characters; and taking in every variety of accentuation, that there are from Four to Five Thou-
sand enunciated words; and if sounds, for which no Characters exist, be included-, he thinks there are Five Thousand Words.
In the original, the arrangement is according to the Sounds and the Tones; but the Characters pronounced alike, and
which diner only in Accent, are placed in different volumes, and divided with so much minuteness as to puzzle all the Natives
whom I ever saw attempt to consult it. In the year 1812, I took it to pieces, and arranged it under the Syllables as they now
stand. It contained about 40,000 Characters, which I at last thought proper to abridge to the number which is contained in
this Part of the Dictionary. In the progress of the Work, I hate collated it with Kanghe's Dictionary, which is commonly

much fuller. »d with a null CbiMie Dicliontry, called Fun-yun ^ ^ a, «dl « with the Alphabetic Diction.ry of the
Human Catholic Missionaries.
The Pei-win-yun-foo ftj( ^ ^ jff Dictionary, if atranged in the same manner as lh« Woo-chay-yun-foo, and is
equally con.plic.tcd «nd difficult to be consulted. I posses>ed Ihii hook from the commencement of my Chinese studies,
but neTer found it useful. There are ISl volumes in nil, full of bare quotations, and parts of sentences which are often
obscure in themselves, and are generally unaccompanied by any illustration. It was compiled by order of the Emperor
KamfHe, in the forty-third year of his reign. Seven years were required to complete it; .and seventy-six Literati where
engaged in collecting and arranging the materials. In A. D. 1 71 1 , it was published.
The .l"rh-ya SI jJtt it an ancient Dictionary, rather of things than of words, and. is BOW. usually printed in three quarto
volumes, with wood cuts ; when ils definitions are useful, they are generally quoted in KmgMt Dictionary.
When a Person studying Chinese, sees a Character which is .new to him, he is unable to find it in a Dictionary
by its Pronunciation, for that is not asccrlainable from the character itself; he mutt therefore seek for it under its Badictl or
Key, hence the necessity of the First Part of thi< Dictionary: but when a Student hears a new word pronounced, or
recollects the sound of a Chancier which he wishes to use in composing, and the formation of which lie either never knew,
or h.is forgotten, its arrangement under the Keys will not enable him .to .find the Character required ; then it is, that the
Alphabetic Arrangement becomes necessary.
It having been determined to be more concise in this Second Part of the Dirlkinnry th.ui in the First; it was thought
practicable to finish it iu one year; and the desire to have A Complete Part for the use of Subscribers, induced the Author
to interrupt the Printing of the Pint Part in order tu.Prioi thi«, which is uow laid before the Public.
A person who would learn Chinese, must at< first .employ Books «r Papers which contain the correctly .farmed Cha-
racter; a knowledge of abbreviated forms must be acquired in. the nine way as a knowledge of the running hand in any
.Alphabetic Language, where the scope and connexion assist the Reader in determining for what the imperfectly formed
letter is intended. To insert iu a Dictionary all the mist-»iiellin*i, abbreviations, and distortions, which ignorance, or
caprice, or local usage .adopts, would be an absurd and endless task : there are, however, some abbreviations very gene-
rally used, and those, it has been thought right, in many instuiccs to insert below the more correctly formed character,
connecting them bj a brace.
•As it is a principle in most Languages, that from a ihort word of a specific meaning, rariouc other words, increased
by the addition of letters, or syllables shall ari.-f, us plants grow up ai.d brar.ch oQ' from a root, something similar exists iu
lie Chinese Language, and which, as the Student will find, Las been attended to in the arrangement of HIM Part of {he
Til.
Dictionary. The following were laid down at rulci by the Author to himnelf, in the arrangement of the Character*, but those
rules 'hare not been invariably adhered to.
I. That the elementary wordi or Primitive!, under each Syllable, should follow each other according to the numbei
of strokes in each.
\
II. That the Primitives should be joined with their compounds, according to the order of the Chinete Keys. And,
III. That after regularly formed Characters had been given under each Syllable, the Anomalous, or Miscellaneous
Characters should be inserted.
The Chinese Accents or Tones, of the more usual Chiraclers are marked, according to the mode which is given in the
Author's Grammar tfthe Chinete Language, to which the Reader is referred. As the Tones are not an original part of the
Chinese Language, but like the Hebrew Points, a subsequent addition ; and though useful, not essential, be would recom-
mend the Student to defer attention to them, till he has acquired a stock of words and idioms, and then, if acquired at all,
it must be by the ear from a living teacher. Without a good Chinese Assistant, a correct pronunciation is nut attainable.
nor is at all of importance to reading and understanding Chinese books. The nicer modulations of the living voice
<anuot be taught by letters. Accents and other Mvks may recall to a Native the right tone, but will not enable a Foreigner
to acquire it. No Frenchman caa I .raru to [no mun.-.e English well by book. Marks fur this purpose arc almost useless,
and it they be made the foundation of the Classification (if words, they become most embarrassing, even to Natives, as it
every day exemplified in thiu«, in the use of ihe Dictionaries arranged according to the Tones* for the Accents and
quantity, are often v«r.v disputable subjects on which Scholars and Dictionaries differ materially.
It will be found from the following Work, that -there is a great variety of Pronunciation, in parts more perceptible than
the Accents ; and wliich in various instances will embarrass a beginner, and for which there is no remedy, but more know-
ledge and experience of the sul-jrcl.
The Student must not expect from lliis Work, the precise words -to be employed in translation, but so much of the
meaning of a word, as will furnish him with a clue to select a proper phrase. Nor must the Poetical meaning of words
be expected to be given with precision; nor the whole of (he figurative meaning; nor the Clatsical allusiani,onM occa-
sions. These require more associated cfl'urt: more diversity of talent, and of pursuit, than have yet been applied by
Europeans to the Chinese Lai.guage ; and much more than is likely to be soon applied ; not because Chinese is less worthy the
attention of European Literati than many other subjects to which they do attend, but because application to it is not dktated
by fashion, — nor by interest, — nor by. national intercourse.
To undertake a dtfenc* of every lenient* k> the Dictionary, and to answer every objection which has been, or
VIII.
anticipate those which may be brought against it, would be an unprofitable occupation. That it has fault*, and
contain* errors, the Author will feel no reluctance in acknowledging! at the same lime he mutt affirm, that he a not
convinced of am that are material.
Some Persons hare thought the Dictionary too diffuse; and others h»ve been gratified by the occasional notices of
Chinese opinion* and uage*, which are introduced.
The Author's object has been, and the intention of the Dictionary oug-ht to be, to communicate the Language to
F.uraffi-iti Now the question i», can this be done by a bare definition of tingle words and of detached sentences ? If it ran,
the Dictionary if too diffuse; but if it cannot, the Dictionary is probably not sufficiently copious. The fitness of the
Dictionary to effect its object, depends entirely on the determination of the question proposed. The Author is of opinion,
that European', and most of all of those out of China, and who bate no Native Assistant, cannot learn Chinese from a Die-
tionary, which contains only a definition of single word-, and of detached sentences. Still with such a collection of Book*
and Papers, respecting Chinese, as is contained in some European Libraries, and with a great sacrifice of time, it is probable
that considerable progress may be made in the Language; but these are 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 exception of a few paragraphs, as much of
the Dictionary as has been Published, is rather too concise than too diffuse. To compare it witli a Dictionary of a Lan-
guage, intended for the inhabitants of a country, with whom that Language is vernacular, and to whom all the allusions
contained iu the language are more or less familiar — will lead to an erroneous conclusion. And, since Grecian and Roman
dory are familiar to the inhabitants of Europe, to compare it with Greek, and Latin Dictionaries, will also mislead the
judgment. The Chinese are an original people. Their modes of thinking and reasoning are original ; and are often widely dif-
ferent from those of Europeans, which difference is sometimes amusingly apparent in the disquisitions of European Writers,
who try to trace the motives of Chinese conduct in various cases. Some Writers attribute a train of thinking and judging
to the Chinese, which a very slight acquaintance with the m/nrfof China would convince them never existed. And an ig-
norance of the usages and MM of China, will always subject a foreigner to a misapprehension of their language, in any thing
that is a little more recondite than, hand a chair ; — or, bring a plate.
When the Author expresses his opinion here, and elsewhere of the great difficulty of learning Chinese in Europe,
he doet it with regret, not with triumph, and to find that he is mistaken will lie a source of pUature, not of mor-
It has been suggested that the Orthography of the Dictionary should have been that of the Manuscripts and Books already
found in Europe. Had there existed any uniform Orthography in the world, it would have been adopted before the suggestion
IX.
was made. But the Portuguese, the French, and the Germans, had all previously uned an Orthography suited to their retpre-
tive languages, and different from each other. In fact this variety in writing the names of Persons, Places, and foreign Words, ii
a material defect in Alphabetic writing; which defect has introduced much confusion into History, Geography, and Foreign
Languages. As no uniform system of writing Chinese words with the Roman A I pin bet existed, the Author could not Me any
propriety in his giving the English reader Xi, for the sound She; Gael, for We : ; Pirn, for Ping, fii, for Ttze, &c., merely
because the first European Writers on the Chinese Language hid spelled the sounds in that manner. Tl e French had already
altered much of the Orthography ; they had turned Xi into Chi, for the sound which in English is expressed by Shrt but that
tended to mislead the English reader (for whimi the Work was particularly intended) just as much as the first spelling, and
therefore it was judged proper lo adopt an entirely new Orthography. There are, however, some single sounds, which at
first sight an English Scholar would spell differently from the Orthography of this Dictionary, hut when he has gone through
all the sounds, he will probably find that the one he has adopted, is wanted in another part of the tyilem, with a different sound
from that in which he has already used it , for example Kae and Keae, where At, has the sound of igh, in the word high. It
occurs to many to write this sound with Ay ; but ay, is required in Chinese Syllables pronounced as in the words, Day, May,
&c., Trhich confounds the Chinese sound High, here spelled Hue, with the English Hay. If it be said, why not make it Hi,
1 would ask the objector to write He-ae f Portuguese Hiai,) which he must then make JKi. I further request him to
write the sound Wei, or the Portuguese Gael; for which Ei alone will answer, but Ei in the preceding instance, and in
this, must be pronounced very differently.
So with respect to the Syllables Teen, Heen,&c. Some would write Tien,Hien, but iff has been adopted, as is employed
above in Hi, Hien will by no means give the sound wanted ; in the one case, Hi sounds like High, and in the other, like He. A
similar confusion in other cases could be easily exemplified, were it here necessary.
Without assuming that the Orthography adopted is the best possible ; it is affirmed that to enable a person to judge, it is
requisite that he first spell art the Chinese words; for to judge of single words only will mislead and subject him to the absurdity
of giving the same spelling (or different soundt.
la extenuation of the stiffness and occasional harshness of the style in this Work, it may be said, that as long
as the tense 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 translation, which contains generally the idea of the original, but nothing
of the manner. A man who wants to learn the language of Confucius, had better hear him with a little of his Chinese
idiom (call it broken English if you will) than listen to him speaking the most Classical English stjle. Although a free
translation is always more easy than a close translation, the Author prefers the latter, because he thinks it mere calculated
to answer the end proposed : but to unite a close rendering and perspicuity, is sometimes impracticable,— in such cases
more freedom must be used.

Apologies for real faults are seldom well received, because they are very often tlie unfounded pretexts of ignorance
or carelessness: however the) are sometimes well founded, and should bo listened to liy candid interpreters of men's
characters and works. The Chines;: Letters, in this part of tho Dictionary, are confessedly dehcic-ut in elegance of form.
The large cues in the first Part of the Dictionary, are in general, beautifully written: but those in thin volume, though
correct, are sometime* rather clumsy. The difference was occasioned by an Act of the Chinese Government; — it said,
'• You may learn our language if you can, but we will afford you no facilities ; our suljects shall not cut letters for you."
In consequence of this decision, it became necessary for an English Printer to write the Characters, and to employ I'ot tuguese
subjects locutlheui. And fur some lime, neither the Writer, 1'iinler, nor Type Cullers, had any native assistance. The
experiment proved to all parties, that such assistance was not now indispensably necessary.
A* to the uli'ity or importance of the Chinese Language, it does not well become the Writer to spenk much in its fa-
»onr. It has been said, that " It must be left to Merchants and to Missionaries to t<'il their way through the wilderness of the
Chinese Language to the deserts of Chinese Liter.. turf."* This is the language of narrow prejudice, i«nor..nt of Ihe su! ject of
which it speaks, and will not weigh much with those who can view the human species with more liberal sentiments than such
as are dictated by merely national or European feelings. Without insisting on the fact, that there are beautiful pieces of
Poetry; interesting aid instructive portions of History and Biography; and important Moral Maxims, in Chinese, as well
as in other Languages; that it is a language amongst the most ancient and Ihe most extensively known on earth; that it
is the living language of live nitions, which together, consitute one Ihird of mankind. Not to insist on these circum.
stances, I would now recommend another view of the subject :
It is not the sole question which the virtuous member of a f.imily puts to himself. Will this benefit me t He
also asks in reference to any course of action. Will this do good to. my family I The true Pat iot goes beyond his family
occa.. onally, and docs whal he Ihinks for the benefit of hU country, though not lo the interest of his own family; and the truly
good man, sometimes does that which is an inconvenience to himself, or which does not beaelit his family or his country iiu-
mediately, but which is calculated eventually to benefit mankind. Whilst Christendom lus furnished many individuals who
have cherished a real and practical general benevolence, it has seldom or never entered into the views of learned bodies, or
national councils to act occasionally solely for the benefit of others. Scholars otte;i ask, what they are to get by learning
Chinese; but supposing there be nothing to learn, have European Scholars nothing to teach? — has it never occuned to
them as Individuals or as Societies, to karn Asiatic languages for the purpose of writing Looks of Sciei.ee. and of general Litcr-
ilurc in those language-. ? If they, whose uiii ds l.ave been illumined with the shearing beunii of science, will not sometimes
learn foreign languages ft,r th<- purpose of communicating it, how is it to be expected tout those who yet grope iu darkless,
should be at Ihe Iroi.ble to learn a foreign language for the sal%eof th..t knowledge of which they cannot perceive Ihe vaiue.
11 men continue lo act on th s principle, the pi ogress of science must indeed lie slow.
"~~
* ElecLc ilcview.
England, Holland, Vorlugal, and America, liuve at present, most intercourse with China; and tlieir pecuniary interetlt
'
are most concerned. The Dutch Government indeed rules over an extensive colony of Chinese, 011 J..TH. Is it exp'.-ct'.ng
loo much of these several Governments to devote a few hundred pounds annually to the cultivation of the Language of the
people with whom they have extensive dealings ?- Is it too much to ask them to feiTe some existence in their Public ?chooli to
a Lingiiage which contains many Thousand Volumes of Original Literature? Will the Colleges and Universities them-
selves not allow of any appropriation of their funds, nor any encouragement to their leisure members to attend to this
subject?*
Till a few individuals of correct sentiments and feelings, whose sole profession is Literature and Science, be sup-
ported by their respective Governments, or learned Societies, to study and te.ich the Chinese Language, its Character
cannot be fairly estimated, nor can European Science be transfused into it. The mind of man is but limited. Mcrchanti
and Missionaries have other objects 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 Sa^es and Moralists are quite in favour of peaceable endeavours to communicate the
knowledge one 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 modern times. Confucius travelled tt> instruct and civilize
others; and the reigning Dynasty sent an envoy to Loo-choo, to advise that District Schools should be established on
those islands, and that the King should reward, by his favour and countenance, the diligent students. St.ndard Chinese
Writers blame the selfishness, which under various plausible pretexts would hide the light of truth, or forbid its being
exhibited to the views of mankind ; and their Moralists enjoin the virtuous to print and distribute widely good books.
It is true, that their benevolent doctrines are but rarely seen in their practice; but it is not to justify what they do, that
their sentiments are here introduced, but to shew that they also inculcate the opinion, that we should not always act
merely from a regard to ourselves.
This doctrine is perhaps universally acknowledged in respect of individu-ils, and as it is equally true of largo
communities and of nations ; the more it is adopted ai d acted on by these, just, in the same proportion will Peace and
Order prevail throughout the world, and ultimate happiness, t e wish of every heart, be geuerally diffused.
* The soil of Oiirntal Literature in Holland, as elsewhere, is barren. Litin and Greek Literature receive more en-
.couragcment here. 1 should be mure reconciled to it, it some $ mall part of this patronage were to overflow upon the
orientalists. H. A. Schullens, to Sir IV. Jvnei.

It K incumbent on the Author to return tincere thanks to THE TToyomim.e THE COURT OF DIRECTORS OF THE
fxiTED EAST INDIA Co>rA*v, for their generosity in defraying the expense of this Work ( and also to return his best
acknowledgement* to the Select Committee, and fereral other Gentlemen, belonging to the English Factory in China,
whose good office* have not been wanting to second the liberality of the Honorable Court, in regard to the progress of
the Dictionary.
To His Majesty's Ministers, who act as Lords Commissioners of the Treasury, the Author is indebted for the
rem'uiion of all Import Charges on the Dictionary, and his other Publications on the Chinese Language; and he feel*
it his duty to express here, the grateful sense he entertains of their condescension and kindness in thus encouraging the
efforts of an individual to promote the study of a hitherto neglected part of Philology.

ANOMALIES IN THE ORTHOGRAPHY.
It will Itssen the difficulty of finding iron/*, to remember thet
1. Ching and Tsing, Cho and Tso, arc sometimes confounded with each other.
2. G, is hard in Gih,
3. Gan and An, Gaou and Aou, are used for each other.
4. K, in the Peking Dialect, before e aud i,. is pronounced as Cu and Ts ; thus King,, is turned into Ching; and Ktanj,
becomes Tseang.
5. H before e and i, is by some pronounced as Sh and as t ; thus He, becomes She, and UeS, is changed to SeJ.
6. Man and Mwan; Pan and" Pwah, are confounded.
7. Tsoo and Choo ; We and Wei ; Me and Mei * are also confounded.
a. The provincial Pronunciation, as given in this Dictionary, is that of the City of Canton, which is often different fiora
that of Macao, and other districts in the Province; and,
9. Although the Pronunciation of each class of Characters be generally the same, there are exceptioni ,- and it ha> not
been attempted to give the pronunciation of each Character by itself.

" In the Chinese Drama, certain
words or characters are adapted to
point out the general characteristics
of the different Dramatis Persons,
and these particular words are made
use of in every Play indiscriminately,
whether its complexion be Tragic
or Comic. No similar usage can be
found on the European stage, unless
Indeed we except the invariable
terms of Harlequin, Clown, Panta-
loon, &c., in the English Pantomine,
which still mark with precision the
station and character of the several
performers, however varied may be
the action of the piece. The words
made use of, in Chinese pi iys, consist
principally of the six following, viz.
^ MS, JtjS- Tsing, £ Sing, &
Tan, ^£ Chow, ^f» Wac. The- first
of these ^ Mo, is called jfc £
Laou-sing, and generally typifies a
princip: I character, as a father, uncle,
&c., or any person somewhat
advanced in age ; and is applied lo
HE
Nan-keS ?S 'jj;R male personages.

characters with painted faces, or those
weiring masques being subdivided

painted face. /£ Sing, is a male
character, and is subdivided into ]£
Ching and /j\ Seaou, thief and les-
ser. Tan HI is ii> variably a female
character, and is distinguished into
Ching-Un _[£ J3_Seaou-tan /j> B
and Laou tan j£ 13[ besides which,
there is occasionally a Chen tin jjyj
tJ which, iu general, is a servant or
some such person. Chow ^L
seems often to typify a character dis-
agreeable, either from personal defor-
mity, or some other cause ; and is
also called /|\ ^ [£Q Seaou hwa
meen. The last, ^ Wae, is a Fun
meen ^ ^ or painted-face cha-
racter, and often one with a grotes-
que and long beard. The great
divisions of the piece, or the acts as
we style them, exist perhaps rather
in the book, than in the representa-
tion ; bcia;, on the Chinese stage, not
so dl>tiiictiy marked ;is oa ours, by
the lapse of a considerable interval
of time. The first is called }$tt -£-
SeS tsze, whith means literally A
door, or the side-pouts of a door ; and

Yih he5 | ^| the science of the
Yih-king, or the doctrine of Chang-
es, Combinations, and Transmuta-
tions: a science in which it is assum-
ed that Chaos was divided into two
parts, answering to male and female ;
/if hi and darkness ;spirit and mailer,
and that from the combinations and
reciprocal action of these, result all
the effects which take place in the
universe. To these two powers,
numbers correspond. A unit, and
every odd number answers to the
male energy ; a duul, and every even
number to the female. Of these
numbers, the Kwaor lines of Fuh-he,
are the visiUe si^p.s, and it being
assumed that these signs answer to
the things signified •, and from a
knowledge of all (lie various com-
binations of numbers, a knowledge
of all possible occurrences in nature
may be previously known. On this
sandy foundation many ef Ihe Chi-
nese opinions are built, and hence the
phrase Iji ftjr Ting soo, A fixed
number; denoting that it is decreed,
or fixed by a philosophical necessi-
ty.— The science of numbers, which
some thiok the only road to truth,

CHINESE
NAMES OF STARS AND CONSTELLA TIONS
COM.FCTKB
AT THE REQUEST OF THE AUTHOR OF THIS DICTIONARY,
JOHN REEVES, Esq. F.R.$L.S.»
An attempt has been made to identify the Stars of the Chinese Constellations with the Constellations of the European Globes,
the process has been tedious, and the result not altogether satisfactory ; yet there is enough to gratify the Curiosity of some, or
prevent the labour of others, who might be inclined to make a similar attempt.
That a people, like the Chinese, who affect a superiority over all others, — and who carry, or pretend to carry, the annali of
their History tack to a period earlier than any other nation, — that such a people should have made considerable progress in
Astronomical science, was to be looked for as a natural consequence: but to our surprise, we find they know little or nothing about
it. They may indeed have divided the Stars in and near the Zodiac, into their Twenty -eight Constellations (and as the whole Constel-
lation of Leo is omitted, 'tis probable this was a Chinese arrangement) ; — they may have given names of their own invention to
some groupes of stars, and to a few of the more brilliant single stars that are visible to them ; — they may have recorded Eclipses
— but this will he found the extent of their performance ; and to record an eclipse, or to name a star, does not constitute an
Astronomer.
The Chinese have been described as having Arts, but no Science, — and the more we are enabled by a progressive knowledge
of their Language to examine their literary works with our own eyes, the better shall we appreciate the justness of this description
of them.
All the books written by the Chinese, and containing accounts of the Stars, are intended only for Astrological purposes -, and
though mention is made of the precession of the equinoxes, in the books of the ninth century, yet it must be remembered, that the
Mahomedans had entered China before this period, and therefore 'tis probable, that the Chinese acquired their first notions of
Astronomy (as a Science) from some of those foreigners who accompanied the Tartar Monarchs in their conquests of the country,
and who probably brought with them those Astronomical instruments which are described (Du Halde, vol 2, page ISO) as having
* To Mr. REEVES the Author is also indebted for most of the names of plants, and other natural productions which occur

his obligations to him.

been found at Nanking and Peking. It appears clear there that they werenotmade for either of the places, where they were
found; and it setms equally clear, the Chinese were not then able to use them; they were then obliged to entrust the Astronomical
department of their Calender to a Mahomedan, and afterwards to the Jisuit Missionaries, who in the reign of the Emperor
Kang-he, composed for them all the books and tables necessary for making the calculations themselves.
The works of these Missionaries remain lasting memorials of their perseverance and abilities, — to them the Chinese
are indebted for all the sciences they possess. — They surveyed and mapped their country for them, — and wrote treatises
explanatory of all the treasures of European Science. Among these, the most interesting loan European is the £fr B1&
•jRS leBh. Lelh, Yuen, Yuen, comprised in one hundred volumes: a few of which illustrate the theory of Music with
the European mode of notation; the others contain the principles of Mathematics, Spherics, the Calculation of Eclipses, with
tables of the Sun and Moon's mean Motions, Nodes, and Anomaly, with tables of all (he necessary Equations. Tables of
prime numbers and factors of composite numbers, natural sines, logarithms of numbers, logarithmic sines, tangents, 4c. &c.
In the thirty-first volume of this elaborate Work, is given a list of Ninety-two Stars, chiefly of the first to the third degree
of magnitude, with their right ascension and declination, measured upon the equator, — though the former is expressed in signs,
degrees, and minutes. These commerce with Vf Capricorntis, or 270°, therefore 2'. 2°. will be the second degree in Piscis,
or rather 270° + 62", say 332°, upon the equator. Another list is given of the same stars with their right ascension and
declination in degrees of the ecliptic, and a table of their annual variation in right ascension and declination, of which a
copy is annexed. There is also another list of two hundred and seventeen Stars, chiefly from the third to the fifth degree of
magnitude, but including a few of the former list, and also a few Nebula*.
These lists formed the ground work of the undertaking, and it would appear at first sight no difficult task to compare
them with the globes, and ascertain the stars intended, but it must be remembered, that though the stars themselves are laid
accurately down upon the globes, (Bardin's eighteen inch were used on the occassion) yet many of them have no mark by which
they can be specifically distinguished, — and therefore it was necessary to call in the assistance of Bode's Atlas, and use his marks
or numbers, where others were wanting,— and even with his accuracy, there are still a few small stars, chiefly between the Horns
of Taurus, and others, between 353° and 356°. which admit of doubt.
At the time these tables were formed, the Jesuit Missionaries constructed two Planispheres, (this appears indeed to
have been the more particular work of F. Verbiest) one of the northern and another of the southern constolhtions, and or-
namented the margin with views of the instruments, as Quadrants, Sextants, pials, &c. used, and also with views of the curves
formed by the planets in their course round the sun.
Each of these Planispheres is upwards of five feet in diameter, divided round the margin into 360* degrees, and having
• scale also of Polar (or rather equatorial) distance, though not of equal parts, but diminishing as they approach the pole, so
that the ten first degrees, or from the equator to 10', are equal to 18". degrees at the poles, or from 72*. to 90°.
The Stars near the equator, allowing for the variation, may be considered as laid down correctly; less accuracy is
found as we approach towards the north pole ; the southern constellations are still more inaccurate, and not easily to be de-

termined; and the Chinese names of such as do not rise in the latitude of Peking, are merely tranilatioui of the European ones,
as Apis, Phoenix, Fiicis Volani, Octani, &c.
Could a perfectly well printed copy of these Planispheres • be obtained, it would be a valuable acquisition, and render the
Catalogue more complete. The one used upon the present occasion had been damaged and torn, and mended in some placet
with blank paper, by which means some of the names may be missing ; and some stars are omitted, among which are Capella,
Scheat in Pegasus, &c. It had also been originally smeared in the Printing, so that many of the names con Id not have been
distinguished without the aid of a smaller map, and the verbal description of the courses of the planets is so much smeared at to
be totally illegible. J. R.
