Revival: an English-Chinese Dictionary of Peking Colloquial (1945) : New Edition Enlarged by Sir Trelawny Backhouse and Sidney Barton (Routledge Revivals)

Many of the marks attached to the phonetic rendering of the Chinese words in this volume differ from those assigned to them in the dictionaries. These apparent discrepencies are intentional, the tones being given as they are applied, or appear to the ear of the compiler to be applied, by the natives of Peking.
