PREFACE
The first edition of this glossary was merely a record of such
Customs phraseology as I had compiled for my own guidance, and it
was published in 1908 with the hope thatit might be of some assist-
ance to others. It met with more success than I anticipated and
the Inspector General saw fit to order copi—es for inclusion in the
officelibraries of the various Custom Houses akindness for which I
was very grateful.
I therefore felt justified in preparing the present volume, a
carefully revised and up-to-date version of the first edition, to which
over 1,000 expressions, copious notes, and a radical indexhave been
added; while, as before, blank pages have been left for the entry of
any new expressions of local or individual interest which may occur.
The subjects dealt with are :
(1) Maritime Customs;
(2) Native ,, ;
(3) Chinese and Foreign Trade;
(4) Postal;
(5) Political;
(6) Geographical;
(7) Miscellaneous.
I take this opportunity to gratefully acknowledge that without
the assistance and encoura.;ement of my wife the work of revision
would have been doubly arduous.
While the glossary is intended primarily for the use of Customs
employeg and contains nearly all the termslikely tobe ofusetothem,
it may also be of advantage as a book of reference to students, busi-
ness men and others, Chinese and English, who are interestedinthe
trend of modern Chinese affairs.
