was complied by over 1000 students.
The total number of pages is 917, 4S0,
and of eharacters-366,9s So ex-
haustive is that great collaboration
that the one volume in the London
library Is almost entirely devoted to
the subject Of hamboos If all the
volumes were piled on top of one an
other they would reach a height OF
$50 feet higher than the dome of
ST. pau1's Cathedral.
"A great part of the work was de-
stroyed by fire during the Boxer riots
in 1909. when the Han-lin college was
destroyed. Many of the volumes were
then appropriated by different people.
and are now scattered all over the
world Two hundred volumes were
discovered by Chinese student in an
obscure corner of the British legation
AT Pekin. England now Possesses
eleven sections of the dictionary. Mr..
Merton bought the volume now on
view for q small sum at bookShop
one of the romances of the second
hand bookshops. 1t is not known how
many volumes are in the possession
of the Chinese government, but there
s a strong feeling that all the volumes
that were taken out or the country
should be restored 10 their legitimate
owners The 1000 Chinese authors
left behind them in this encyclopedia
