廣州話袖珍字典 - Roy T. Cowles - Bookniverse

In presenting the first edition of this work, published in 1914, the author remarked: "A convenient pocket dictionary of Cantonese is so evident a need that no apology is necessary for the presentation of this volume." The reception given that volume fully justifies the above quoted remark. In the years that have passed since then, hundreds of missionaries and others have found that the book met their needs, and though it has long been out of print, well used copies are treasured by their owners, We have had continuous request for a reprint or new edition, and it is now with a real sense of satisfaction that we are able to bring out the new volume.
