Excerpt from Chinese Phonology: An Attempt to Discover the Sounds of the Ancient Language and to Recover the Lost Rhymes of China
HE publication of this essay is mainly due to the encouragement of Mr. A. Von Rosthorn: during a discussion on the second series of rhyme-tables contained in the introduction of K''ang-hsi''s Dictionary, I commu micated certain views which I had long held on an obscure point in those important tables. My opinions were considered by Mr. Von Rosthorn of sufficient import ance to induce me to undertake an exhaustive enquiry on the different dialects of China With the material industriously collected by Mr. Parker and inserted in Mr. Giles'' Dictionary. The first results of my studies are contained in the following pages.
