Description:
London: Kelly & Walsh, 1912. Second, revised and enlarged edition of Giles' monumental work, the most complete Chinese-English dictionary ever published. This massive early work still retains rich value as a reference for both student and researcher to the present day--while virtually all currently available Chinese English dictionaries consist of less than 9,000 characters, Giles' work includes some 13,848 distinct characters. Again in marked conrast to current works, all characters are reproduced in a large, easily viewed scale. Pronunciation is provided in Romanized Beijing (Mandarin), Cantonese, Hakka, Fuzhou, Wenzhou, Ningpo (of which Shanghainese is a relative), Yangzhou, Sichuan and 'mid-China' dialects, as well as in Korean, Japanese and Annamese (Vietnamese). Annexes include table of Imperial Chinese official ranks, a huge list of family names, incuding many now very rarely encountered, a list and chronology of Chinese dynasties, topographical details including provinces…
