"A thoroughly scientific investigation of the Chinese language, its characteristics, history, affinities, etc., can hardly be said to date from before the present century; and as the present book is, in the belief of the writer, the first attempt to embrace the theme, it follows almost of necessity that he must himself assume responsibility for much of the theoretical framework into which the facts have been fitted." A chapter on related and contiguous languages discusses Tai, Miao, and other dialects. Hucker #66.
