Author:Laozi

Format: epub

Dr. Carus's text edition has additional advantages ; it is so arranged that every reader has it in his power to verify the translation, and if he so desires, to study the Chinese language practically in connection with this celebrated classic. Every Chinese word and its English equivalent is given in the transliteration, which thus forms a complete explanation of the Chinese text, and for every word references are given to the exact page of Williams'*s Dictionary, which is the most accessible, and, in some cases where Williams is insufficient, to the K'anghi, which is the most authoritative. There are also notes on pronunciation and methods of transcription, made by the Rev. Geo. T. Candlin of Tientsin and Dr. Robert Lilley of Mt. Vernon, N. Y. The roots and whole philological history of the words can thus be traced by any reader.
