Excerpt from How to Write Chinese: Containing General Rules for Writing Chinese, and Particular Directions for Writing the Radicals
This being the case, it will follow, as a matter of course, that this part of the book will assist the Learner materially, not only in learning to write, but also in learning to remember Chinese words.
After the 'order of Writing' appears a short paragraph under the heading of Directions and Remarks.' Here will be found more explicit directions as to the formation of the different portions of the characters than can be given under the Order of Writing. The Student is also here referred to the other Radicals which are used to write the Radical then under review.
Indexes of the Radicals, according to their pronunciation in Mandarin, in Cantonese, and according to their English meanings are appended - three in all - as well as an Excursus on the 'practical use of a Chinese Dictionary,' which it is hoped will be of material assistance to the Beginner.
This book does not contain directions for the cursive style of writing, or the grass hand. The first thing which the Beginner has to learn is to form the characters as they are to be met with in books, and as carefully written, just as an English School boy has to learn writing from text and small text copies; and it is, or should be, a sine gm? Non that he forms his letters correctly before his hand is allowed to form itself into a style peculiar to himself, which his own idiosyncrasies and the exigencies of time and rapidity of writing develop into a character of its own, differentiated from that of others.
