The total increase in this edition is represented by about five hundred of its pages. It would have been quite easy, with the unused material I still have, to have made the volume even bulkier. In Dr. Chalmers’ life-time, each successive issue was considerably larger than its immediate forerunner.

I can speak, from frequent and grateful experience, of the exceptional care taken, under the trying circumstances of crabbed penmanship and tortured interpolations, in the composing room of Messrs. Kelly and Walsh, during the unavoidably long drawn out period of re-printing. I also desire to acknowledge a deep debt of obligation to the late Mr. Tsang Chung, who, up to the time of his death, was Second Chinese Assistant Master at Queen’s College, for careful aid, cheerfully given to revision of proofs.
