A HANDBOOK OF MODERN ARABIC,

CONSISTING OF

A PRACTICAL GRAMMAR,

WITH NUMEROUS EXAMPLES, DIALOGUES, AND NEWSPAPER EXTRACTS,

IN A EUROPEAN TYPE.

BY FRANCIS W. NEWMAN,

EMERITUS PROFESSOR OF UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, LONDON; FORMERLY FELLOW OF BALLIOL College. oxford. "This manual is peculiarly adapted to render the earlier stages in the acquisition of the Arabic language much easier than they are ordinarily proved to be. For by an exact system of transliteration of that alphabet into easy equivalents, it saves the student the double perplexity of having to contend, at once, with a strange language and a strange character; and while familiarising him with the sound of the more common words and constructions, it insensibly leads him to the knowledge of the original mode of writing them. To those who wish to acquire and speak modern Arabic, this work, by the singular pains taken to define and enforce the exact sounds of the spoken language, offers advantages very far surpassing those of the most celebrated grammars of the learned idioms."-Dr. J. NICHOLSON, Penrith.

A MODERN-GREEK AND ENGLISH LEXICON.

BY N. CONTOPOULOS.

This Dictionary, compiled by a Native Greek Scholar, is intended to meet a real want. The Dictionary by A. J. Lowndes, printed at Corfu in 1836, has been out of print for years, and the one by Professor Sophocles, of Harvard College, Mass., U.S., limited as it is to Byzantine Greek, is not likely to satisfy the Student who desires, above all, out of the abundance of that wonderful language, a complete and faithful representation of the popular idioms of Modern Greece.

EGYPTIAN CHRONICLES;

WITH A HARMONY OF SACRED AND EGYPTIAN CHRONOLOGY, AND AN APPENDIX OF
BABYLONIAN AND ASSYRIAN ANTIQUITIES.

By WILLIAM PALMER, M.A., and late Fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford.

This work reproduces eight Egyptian schemes of Chronology, all containing the same elements, and throwing light one

on another.

It exhibits the earliest cyclical scheme in three Sothic cycles from July 20 B.C. 5702 to July 20 в.c. 1322; and three later schemes of four cycles each, ending July 20 A.D. 139.

Within this astronomical framework human time begins only from April 26 B.c. 5361; and accordingly two uncyclical schemes omit those 341 merely cosmical years with which the cyclical schemes begin.

[Many statements of heathen writers, and the Egyptian Chronologies of Africanus, Eusebius, and Anianus are examined, and their peculiarities are accounted for.] The results, too, obtained from the monuments are embodied in the work.

A sacred reckoning is made out, on a broad principle in which all may join, identical in its sum with what the author might have given as his own, and agreeing with the heathen reckonings of the Egyptians, the Babylonians, the Persians, and the Indians.

Lastly, in parallel columns, there is a Harmony of Sacred and Egyptian Chronology.

THE LACHU KAUMUDÍ,

A SANSKRIT

GRAMMAR BY VARADARÁJA

With an English Version, Commentary, and References,

BY JAMES R. BALLANTYNE, LL.D.,

Principal of the Sanskrit College, Benares.

SECOND EDITION. BENARES AND LONDON, 1867.

In the Preface Mr. R. T. H. Griffith expresses himself as follows:

The Translation of the Laghu Kaumudí by the late Dr. Ballantyne, which, as Professor Max Müller observes, "has enabled even beginners to find their way through the labyrinth of native grammar," has been for many years out of print, and is continually enquired for by those who wish to obtain a well-grounded knowledge of a language, the students of which in Europe alone may be counted no longer by tens, but by hundreds.

For the publication of this edition such students are indebted to the enlightened liberality of H. H. the Mahárájah of Vizianagram, K.C.S.I., who has already munificently encouraged Sanskrit and English scholarship in this country by his endowments to the Queen's College at Benares and the Universities of Calcutta and Madras.

The Sanskrit Text and English Translation have been carefully revised and corrected by Pandit Bechan Ráma Tiwárí, Librarian of the Sanskrit College, and Bábú Mathurá Prasáda Misra, Second Master of the English College.

Several of the corrections and alterations which appear in this edition were either made, suggested, or approved, years ago by Dr. Ballantyne himself; and it is hoped that no change has been made in which he would not have thoroughly concurred.

TZU ERH CHI.

A PROGRESSIVE COURSE DESIGNED TO ASSIST THE STUDENT OF COLLOQUIAL CHINESE, As spoken in PEKING and the Department of SHUN-T'IEN FU.

By T. F. WADE, C.B., Secretary to H. B. M. Legation, Peking.

The Course is divided into eight parts, and is accompanied by a Key, a Syllabary, and a set of Writing Exercises.

Part I., on Pronunciation, explains the orthography used to represent the Sounds of Words in the dialect chosen ; also the influence of the four Tones or notes which regulate its accentuation.

Part II. contains a list of the Radicals, or characters under which, as Keys by which they may be found, all Chinese words are ranged in the dictionaries. Each of these Radicals (as they are called to distinguish them from the other component part of the written word, known as its Phonetic) has opposite to it examples to illustrate the part it plays in the formation of the character. The list is followed by Test Tables and an Exercise.

Part III. is a progressive series of lessons in easy phraseology, forty in all, in each of which a number of new words, never exceeding twenty-five, is introduced. The Key repeats the text of these with the pronunciation of every new word and its tone-index by its side; a translation of the whole lesson is given on the opposite page; and notes on construction, etc., are appended. This part, which is styled The Forty Exercises, with the Exercise preceding it in Part II., will make the student familiar with some 1,100 characters, and a fair amount of simple phrases. The first of the Forty Exercises is printed as a specimen on the second page of this sheet.

Part IV., The Ten Dialogues, adds something less than 250 characters to the stock the student will have acquired in Part III.; but the Dialogues themselves will considerably improve him in the art of speaking.

Part V., styled The Eighteen Sections, is another set of lessons in short phrases. They are more difficult than the phrases in Part III., being very idiomatic, and bring in a large number of new words.

Part VI., or The Hundred Lessons, is a set of monologues and dialogues, of which the text will not now be found so

difficult as that of Part V., and they will accustom the student to speaking more sustainedly than the Ten Dialogues. They are in language thoroughly idiomatic, and, so far as they go, curious illustrations of Chinese modes of thought. The translation and notes of Parts IV., V., and VI. in the Key, enable the student to dispense with a dictionary.

Part VII. is a set of Exercises in the Tones. A short preface to the Key of this Part serves as a supplement to what has been earlier said regarding the Tones in Part I.; and this is followed by a reprint of the text of the Exercises, with orthography and tone-indices, and a translation.

Part VIII., the Chapter on the Parts of Speech, sets before the student of the colloquial language some of the chief contrasts and analogies of inflected English and uninflected Chinese. It begins with a conversation upon the subject of grammar; but the latter part of it is a set of examples distributed in the order of our Parts of Speech. The Chapter, which is throughout in simple colloquial language, is also translated in the Key.

The Appendix to the Colloquial Series repeats the characters in it in the order in which they first occur.

The Syllabary is a collection of all characters representing the Dialect of Colloquial Chinese here chosen for the student, arranged in the order of their Syllabic Sounds; the characters under each Sound being distributed according to their Tones. Characters having more than one Sound, or more than one intonation of the same Sound, are marked in the Syllabary with a point, and all so marked are collected with a note of the Tonic or Syllabic varieties affecting each, in an Appendix.

The Writing Exercises contain the Radicals in large type, and in somewhat smaller type the characters with which the student will become acquainted in the earlier part of the

course.

A PROSPECTUS of the DOCUMENTARY SERIES of the Tzo ERH CHI will shortly be issued.
