Rebound. Foxing throughout, but the text remains legible and the binding is sound.

This is the first alphabetically arranged dictionary of the Fuzhou (Foochow) dialect, compiled by American missionaries Baldwin and Stewart. Departing from the traditional fanqie system, it adopts a Romanized orthography based on the system of William Jones. The dictionary records 15 initials, 7 vowel phonemes, and detailed tone markings, offering valuable insight into the phonology of the Fuzhou dialect in the late 19th century.
