APPENDIX　I.THE　RADICALS.

In　the　following　Table　the　Radicals　with　their　pronunciation　and　meanings　are　arranged　in　the　order　of　their　numbers，which　is　accoraing　to　the　number　of　strokes　in　each　radical，and　the　order　followed　in　all　Chinese　and　Foreign　dictionaries.

The　class　of　formation　to　which　the　character　belongs（see　Introduction，Vol.I，p.9）and　remarks　on　the　significance　of　their　composition　are　given　in　parallel　columns.

The　modern　forms　of　the　characters　with　the　ancient　forms（commonly　known　as　the　Seal　characters）are　given　on　pp.450-464.

It　is　not　intended　that　the　information　should　all　be　learned，but　simply　read　and　noted　as　an　aid　to　memory.It　is　desirable，however，that　the　student　should　be　able　to　recognize　and　write　each　radical，know　its　sound　and　meaning，and，in　the　case　of　those　most　commonly　used，its　number.
