Additional Transcriber’s Notes.

* The 1913 edition of this book was used to help read illegible
letters and characters in this version.

* Characters not found in the Unicode 13 set are replaced by ‘[Cn]’
where ‘n’ is a unique number. Descriptions of the unknown
characters are at the end of the book.

* Tones marks for given words are inconsistent throughout the book.
They were corrected when possible.

* Hyphenation of Romanized text has been left unchanged. English
text hyphenation has been standardized.

* Tone marks were standardized to be placed before leading
apostrophes (i.e. °‘ rather than ‘°).

* The book uses 之 rather than 仔 for the past participle. The
earlier editions of this book used 仔 and that use is still
visible in some examples in this book. Edkins’ 1868 grammar book
uses 子.

book used 垃拉 and that use is still visible in some examples in
this book. Edkins’ 1868 grammar book uses 勒拉.

book used 無沒 and that use is still visible in some examples in
