Yü Yen Tzu Êrh Chi, Vol. 1 of 3: A Progressive Course Designed to Assist the Student of Colloquial Chinese as Spoken in the Capital and the Metropolitan Department (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Yü Yen Tzu Êrh Chi, Vol. 1 of 3: A Progressive Course Designed to Assist the Student of Colloquial Chinese as Spoken in the Capital and the Metropolitan Department
I was also indebted to Mr. Donald spence for his assistance on the voyage home in the completion of these short sentences, of which I had prepared little more than a fourth part; but his contribution, from the circumstances of time and place, was necessarily less significant than Mr. Hillier's. Mr. Hillier, who is a high authority upon the tones of the Peking dialect, has also carefully corrected the tone marks of every word in the first seven Parts of the new edition.
Part IV - the Ten Dialogues - remains as it was, except that Mr. Hillier, as my plenipotentiary, has seen good to suppress the tenth dialogue, a conversation about the construction of the language. He has substituted for it a dialogue of his own composition. This, as it purports to take place between two friends at a restaurant, is no doubt a more palatable subject than that of the dialogue suppressed, against which more than one earnest beginner has been heard to protest as over trying to digestion.
