The paper on "The Early History
of the Chinese Civilization" by M. Terren de
Lacouperie, which appeared last year in the
Journal Of the Society Of Arts. and has now been
printed In separate form, may not be without
an important, though indirect, bearing on bib
llcai science. BY an examination of the Tonic
dictionaries of the Chinese the Buddhist trans.
scripts OF Sanskrit terms modern Chinese dia.

Mantle form of the Chinese; the phonetic sym.

trate back to the earliest dlscoverable forms of
Chinese words and characters and on this
oasis TO make comparison between Chinese
and Accadian The paper gives only results
The author declares his belief that the Chinese
forms the third division in what he calls the
Amardian group. of which the other divisions
are constituted by the Accadian and the Pro.
tomedic, SUSAN, and Kossian Some of the
resemblances that he produces are striking
but taken altogether, they seem to us neither
numerous nor close enough to carry conviction
OF the truth of his proposition. AT the same
time, 1t must be said that his method and spirit
are strictly scientific, and he falls into none of
the vagaries of comparison that we find for
example in Mr.. Edkins book on Chinese
etymology. We shall look with interest for
further, publications by NJ de Lacouperie.
Everything that furthers the study of Chinese
and Accadian acts in double way on biblical
science, through the Christianization of China
and the study of the Babylonian Assyrian mon
uments. and 1t is a matter of congratulation
that the pth of accurate scientific INVESTIGATION
OF the Chinese linguistic puzzle has at length
been entered on
