A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In pre-iM itin tbo Sl coikI pyJ ition ofT hings Chinos; to tlio public, the author must express his thanks for tlu oonlial reception accorded to the book on its lirwt appearance, thus enabling a ri viscd and (darged edition to be issued so shortly after the first. Considerable additions have been made to the present edition l)y the insertion of the following ncnv articles :liamboo. Boats, Embroidery, English from Chinese Pens, Firecrackers andF ireworks, The FortM gner in Far Cathay, Jade, Jews, Mandarin, Mohamnitdans, Pagoda, Pawnshops, Population, P(V tsz and other Games of Chance, Shuttlecock, Stamps, Suicide, Tombs, and Torture nineteen in all. There are very few articles that have not l)een retouched and, in some cases, largely added to. All this has, of course, increased the number of pages very considerably, but the seventy-eight additional pages do not fully represent the actual increase? in the size of the book, as, by the judicious use of small type, a coTV8do AQ i xva.
