Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the Chinese system of writing. It analyzes the nature and character of its characters, which have perplexed many sinologists, and in doing so reveals the true cause of this embarrassment. The author demonstrates that the Chinese characters do not, separately or collectively, constitute a language. Instead, they act as a written language, representing the words of the Chinese language through the mental ear, not the mental eye. The author terms this "lexigraphy," arguing that the system can only be fully understood by recognizing this principle. The core of the book posits that the Chinese characters only present ideas as connected to the words in which language has clothed them, demonstrating the characters' connection to sound, not as the letters of our alphabet, but as the groups formed by them when joined together in the form of words. Through this lens, the book offers a new perspective on Chinese writing, challenging traditional ideographic interpretations and shedding light on the relationship between sound and symbol in Chinese.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book consists of government documents outlining the British government's efforts to end slavery in Jamaica. These documents provide insight into the challenges and successes of the abolition of slavery in the British Empire in the 1830s. The collection begins with a circular issued by Lord Glenelg, then Secretary of State for the Colonies, in May 1837. This circular instructs the governors of British colonies to take various steps to protect freed slaves from being sold back into slavery in foreign colonies. Later circulars touch on issues such as prison conditions, the upcoming end of apprenticeship for non-predial laborers, and the treatment of apprentices by overseers.
