BALLER SHANGHAI AUBRICAN PRESBYTERIAN MISSION PRESS 1892 PREFACE. This Vocabulary of the Sacred Edict, although bound separately to facilitate reference, is an integral part of the work. The Characters have all been arranged under their respective Radicals, according to the number of strokes they contain, and without reference to the chapters in which they appear. Different forms of the same character are given, although not found in the text, whenever such forms are in common use. The phrases have been carefully collated, and placed, each under its first character, in the order in which it first occurs in the several chapters. For example : ^ page 21, occurs for the first time in chap. II, and the four phrases which follow it, are found in chaps. 3, 5, 7, and 10 respectively. By this arrangement of characters and phrases the student is furnished with a kind of concordance of the whole work, which he is strongly urged from time to time to go through separately, with a view to testing his knowledge of the text. For convenient reference, a list of the 214 Radicals is prefixed, together with a table of difficult characters. The scope of the work did not admit of any further analysis of the characters. For this the beginner is referred to the Author’s Analytical Vocabulary of the Gospel of John.* Space has been left where the student may write the sound as heard in his particular locality. F. W.
