"Mr. Herbert A. Giles, late H.M. Consul at Ningpo, has finished A Chinese Biographical Dictionary.' It will contain about 2500 lives of the most eminent Chinese statesmen, warriors, philosophers, poets, painters, travellers, priests, rebels, beauties, etc., from the earliest ages down to the present day. Biographical notices of the emperors will also be included."-The Athenæum, February 6th, 1897.

"The compilation of a Chinese biographical dictionary on a scale of sufficient comprehensiveness must be regarded as an enterprise of great practical importance, forChina is being' opened' in spite of itself, and is evidently destined to become increasingly a sphere of interest alike as regards politics, commerce, and literature. Such an enterprise has been taken in hand and is now carried a long way towards completion by the sinologist who is probably the most competent of all for the task, Mr. Herbert A. Giles, LL.D., late Her Britannic Majesty's Consul at Ningpo, and for the last few years a citizen of Aberdeen. The first instalment of Dr. Giles's biographical dictionary has been issued by Mr. Bernard Quaritch, of London, in a large octavo' fascicule ' of about five hundred pages. It is arranged alphabetically according to the English alphabet, though also giving the Chinese characters for the several names, and in this instalment 1288 names are disposed of, the last of the series being Liu Chip-yuan, who

died in A.D. 948, and who is described as a poor
orphan of a tribe of Turkic Tartars who dis-

tinguished himself as a soldier under the later
T'ang and Chin dynasties, who was Governor
of Ho-tung (modern Shansi) when the Kitans
took Pien-Chou; and, collecting an army,
he harassed their rear, forced them to retreat,
and was raised by his soldiers to the vacant
throne. Fertile as China has been in great
men, such is the barbarism of the world that
few of them can be said to have a world-wide
reputation. Such a reputation, however, is
enjoyed by Li Hung-chang for one, and
Dr. Giles devotes to him a compact biography
of about four pages, in which his career is
vividly traced down to the end of his triumphal
progress through Europe and America last
year. 'Since his return to Peking,' we read.
he seems to have occupied the position rather
of an extinct volcano. By some he has been
regarded as a friend to foreigners and to
national progress on liberal lines. It is more
than probable, however, that his desire for
such progress has simply veiled a national wish
to see his own countrymen paramount and the
barbarian once more at their feet.' Of Prince
Kung there is a corresponding but briefer
notice, and, of still more celebrated personages,
there are excellent summaries of the lives of
K'ung Ch'iu (more recognisable to barbarians
under the appellation of Confucius) and Lao-
Tzu. The dictionary is a model of compact
and perspicuous statement, and it will be
invaluable to the many Englishmen and Scotch-
men whose careers are in the Far East."--The
Aberdeen Daily Free Press, July 31st, 1897.

REDHOUSE'S ENGLISH-TURKISH Dictionary, new and enlarged edition, by Dr. CHARLES WELLS, PH.D., complete in two parts, forming one vol. 8vo. double columns (pub. at £2.), cloth, reduced to 258

1880

The first edition has been long entirely out of print; the few copies which have turned up occasionally have been sold much above the original publishing price.

WELLS (Dr. Charles) A PRACTICAL GRAMMAR of the TURKISH LANGUAGE, based upon the best modern Turkish work on the subject; also including such rules of Arabic and Persian Grammar as have been adopted by the Turks, 8vo. (pub. at 158), cloth, reduced to 108

1880

This is the best Turkish Grammar ever written. The author's knowledge of the Turkish Language is exceptionally good and is only inferior to that possessed by One scholar, Mr. Redhouse. REDHOUSE'S large Lexicon ENGLISH and TURKISH, by J. W. Redhouse, in one volume, royal 8vo. 827 pp. double columns, hf. morocco, £1. ls London, Bernard Quaritch, 1861

This is the counterpart of the great Turkish-English Lexicon above mentioned, and is the most complete and useful of all English-Turkish Dictionaries. It is even found to be indispens able as an English-Persian Dictionary by those who are employed in the English diplomatic service in Persia, notwithstanding the excellence of other recent works specially devoted to their use.

DR. CHARLES WELLS, the Literature of the Turks :

A TURKISH CHRESTOMATHY, 8vo. xx. and 272 pp., cloth, 168 1891 The first Turkish Reading book ever published, consisting of Extracts in Turkish from the best Turkish Authors (Historians, Novelists, Dramatists), with interlinear and free translations in English, biographical and grammatical notes and Facsimiles of MS. Letters and Documents.

"This is the first good Turkish reading book which has been published in England, and it will be welcomed by all students of Turkish as a valuable addition to the books available for learning that language. Dr. Wells, who is Professor of Turkish in the School of Modern Oriental Languages founded by the Imperial Institute, and is author of an excellent Turkish Grammar, published by Quaritch in 1880, has taken great pains to make this Chrestomathy as complete as possible and of graduated difficulty, commencing with easy sentences, and going on to selections from some of the best Turkish authors. Translations of each piece are given for the assistance of students who have to work without a teacher."--United Service Journal.
