Year : 1879
Imprint : 470 p.
Bibl. note : No small effort on the side of the compiler, this
little dictionary of some 9000 placenames owes much of
its material to Biot's work of 1842. With the re-
adjustments of geo-political units (districts,
autonomous regions and the like) the work is outdated,
though still useful (for example it supplies longitude
and latitude measurements, includes placenames of the
border regions and provides lists of "adminstrative
cities of China" as it were in the 1870ies. Arranged
according to Wade's rendering of the Chinese
characters; index; numerous reprints (Tokyo 1901 and
again in 1905; Shanghai 1910; Taibei 1965);

are arranged by Chinese reading (modified Wade-Giles). TM 30-488 is yet
another list of the same names, but arranged by Japanese reading (modified
Hepburn system). All titles are (or, rather, were) classified as restricted
material.
