A short but interesting paper in which the author points out that the study of Chinese writing affords an opportunity to gather valuable facts concerning the rôle of symbolism in word formation, and the peculiarities of association occurring in primitive thought. Many of the remarkable and complicated characters in Chinese writing are like instantaneous photographs which caught the primitive mind at work. The article deserves careful reading.
