equipped if he had devoted his time to the study of English. Every- 

 thing that can be said for Greek is now to be found in English, thanks 

 to the abundant labours of all the scholars that have devoted their 

 time and talents to this field of learning. In any case Dr. Stuart is to 

 be highly congratulated on the end of this difficult task. He has 

 produced a substantial volume. The Greek words are arranged in 

 alphabetical order. Parts of Speech are indicated. The Chinese 

 equivalents are given followed by an English equivalent. References 

 are also given to where the words are found in the N. T. 



The printing has been done in an excellent way. It must have been 

 very exacting work and the Printers are to be highly congratulated. 

 The whole cost of the work 'has been generously assumed by the Ginter 

 Park Presbyterian Church Richmond Virginia' ; it is to be hoped that 

 this linking of China with ancient Greece by way of America will bear 

 happy fruit, for the good of the nations. 



Index to the China Review. By John C. Ferguson. Kelly and 

 Walsh, Ltd., Shanghai, 1918. 

 This is an extremely useful subject index to an important publica- 

 tion. Mr. Ferguson disarms adverse criticism to some extent by saying 

 that the preparation of the Index has followed the lines of his reading, 

 and "the result will, therefore, not be wholly satisfactory to anybody 

 else." The chief fault observed is one that would have meant more 

 labor; for the Index is far from complete. There is no index of 

 authors. There is no gathering of titles into general classes of subjects, 

 and those who wish to look up what the volumes of the Review have 

 to offer, for example on Chinese Religions will have to run their eyes 

 over the whole work, — a matter of some two hours labor. The cross 

 references are not consistently planned. " Corvee Services," and 

 " Ningpo Dialect," for example are each found under both title words ; 

 but whereas Eitel's articles, "Fragmentary Studies in Ancient Chinese 

 Philosophy," are found only under "Chinese Philosophy," the same 

 author's "Chinese Philosophy before Confucius" is to be found only 

 under "Philosophy." But all this is to look a gift horse in the mouth. 

 When Mr. Ferguson has already relieved us of much labor, it is un- 

 generous to reproach him for not relieving us from more. We join in 

 what will surely be a hearty chorus of thanks to him from all students 

 of things Chinese. H. K. W.
