✦ Synopsis

London: Kegan Paul, Trench. Trubner & Co., Ltd., 1922. — vi, 106 p.

The following pages form really a sort of note-book of the Chinese language. There is no pretension to erudition. Simply has the writer found during some years of teaching experience in the two most difficult languages in the world that the student must from the start rely upon himself. If he would make real and sensible progress, he must make his own exercises from the raw material provided in the notes on construction and the vocabulary. For this reason exercises herein will be few and will serve as models for those of the student's own making. Should the learner feel that he stands in need of further practice with regard to exercises, he can make his choice from many excellent manuals easily procurable. The object in view throughout has been rather to eliminate matter than to assemble between two covers all that is known of the tongue.
