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-
