"Custom Officers' English-Chinese Vademecum" is a unique historical dictionary compiled in 1915 by D. Okamoto. This vademecum, or handbook, was specifically designed for customs officers navigating the complexities of international trade and communication between English and Chinese speakers. The book offers a fascinating glimpse into the linguistic landscape of early 20th-century commerce, providing a practical resource for understanding the terminology and expressions used in customs and trade during that era.
This volume serves not only as a valuable linguistic resource but also as a historical artifact, reflecting the global interactions and trade relationships of its time. It will be of interest to linguists, historians of commerce, and anyone curious about the intersection of language and international business.
