A Glossary of Reference On Subjects Connected With the Far East

This is designed primarily as a key to an understanding of the terms and terminology employed in Anglo-Chinese society at the turn of the twentieth century. It covers subjects as diverse as the origin of words (such as Amok and Chop), practices such as footbinding, consideration of the thoughts of Confucius, and many other items of interest and information. Against each entry the equivalent Chinese characters are given. It is first published in 1878, and the third edition in 1900. --This text re
