• Description: This invaluable reference work by A. G. Herbert serves as a linguistic and cultural guide to the terms and expressions used within Anglo-Chinese communities across India, the Far East, China, Japan, and beyond. Modeled in part on the famed Hobson-Jobson, it sheds light on words like “Amok” and “Chop,” tracing their origins and contextual usage. The book explores key cultural references, including those related to Confucian thought, and provides insights useful to both casual readers and scholars. Having gone through three editions, it stands as a trusted companion for researchers, travelers, and students of cross-cultural linguistics.
