PREFACE 
 
 ^ HE groundwork of the following volume is a collection of English and Malay Phrases 
 published, in the end of last year, by Mr North of the American Mission, Sinijapore. On receiv- 
 ings a Copv of that Colieciion, it occurred to the Editor that its usefulness would be considera- 
 bly inrri rised by the addition of the Cliinese vernacular in one or more of the Dialects spoken 
 in the Straits. He had acrordinijly translated a considerable part ol it into the vernacular 
 Canton, when he was induced and enabled by the assistance of the Rev. Mr. Brown, of the 
 Morrison Education Society, to extend the idan, so as to enibrace at on<;e a v« rsion into good 
 Chinese, wirh the correspondinij vernacular in two diaie< ts in Roman Character. 
 
 The Editor trusts that the Chinese will be found at once faithful to the original, and suffi- 
 ciently idiomatic. If is the work <»f a Chinaman of considerable acquirements both in his 
 own lanijuau'e and in Enjriish. The harshness, which may be discovered in some of the phra- 
 ses, is princioally to be attributed to their insulation. The Editor was struck with this, 
 while the sheets were coinu through the press. He and some other foreign students ob- 
 jected to Some expressions, as beioij only Eniilish in a Chinese dres**; and more than one 
 Socn-Shanif objected <o others, as not l*eintr flowing. They were accordingly changed ; but 
 most of the original expressions have since been met with, in the progress of the Editor's 
 Chinese Readinsr. F>reii:n students are in dans^er, indeed, of rejcctins: many expressions, 
 which are really Chin se, from their corresjK)ndin 4 with idionis of th- ir own languas^e, with 
 which they are already familiar. There is to l>e sure a greater danger on the other hand of 
 their falling into an nnidiomatic style; but he must be a bold man, who will pronounce ajjainst 
 an expression, emanatiiiii from a native Chinese, becauseit seems to savour of another language. 
 
 The Canton verna<"ular is the production of the sanae individual, and was taken down from 
 his dictation by the Rev. Mr Brown, according to the orthography adopted in Mr Bridgman's 
 Chrestomathy. There may be a diflVrencc in tbe initial sounds of some of the words, as the- 
 Chinaman rfferred to is not from Canton city, but from a village, about fifty le in the interior. 
 This however is not of very great importance, as these differences seem to interpose no ob- 
 struction to his fluent intercourse with natives of Canton. 
 
 In preparing the H')k-keen vernacular, considerable assistance was dierived from the Rev. 
 Mr Abeel, of the American Board for foreign Missions, and from bis teacher, a Chinaman 
 of the rank of Sew-Tsae. 
 
 It was attempted at first to conform it to the same orthography, as the Canton; but the 
 endeavour was soon abandoned, from its requiring the introduction of several new vowol and 
 dipththong sounds into a system, already surely sufficiently complicated. The orthography 
 adopted will he found to correspond nearly with that empioyed in Mr. Dyer's Vocabulary of the 
 Hok-keen Dialect. 
 
 The Editor, however, is of opinion that it would have been an improvement bad he adhered 
 to the dipththong-.sounds employed by Mr. Medhurst, and also to his orthography of ch'h and 
 ch for the sounds denoted respectively in this volume by ch and tsh, and in Mr. Dyer's 
 Vocabulary b\ c'h and tsh. 
 
 The distinction between these sounds is deserving particular attentio*, and dUght lobe 
 carefully caught up by a foreign student from the lips of the natives. 
 
 It is not deemed necessary to subjoin a table of this orthography, because it harmonizes 
 with the powers belonging to the vowels and consonants in English. 
 
 The Editor has in conclusion to request the indulgence of scholars, better acquainted with 
 tile Chinese langtiage than himself, to the m^ny errors which they will discover in the work. He 
 particularly reerets the wrong orthography of Chid-S,y instead of TshidSy, which extends 
 through nearly a third part of the volume, also of tshayh tor cheyh, and bogyh lor boeyh. 
 
 He trusts notwithstanding these things that the book will be fotrnd serviceablre in Schools, 
 for which it is principally got up, and to those who are beginning toUsp their ideas in Chinese-
