Following with a description of the book's layout, and crediting Mrs Vaccari with the selection of the kanji and the graphic design of the book. "A Few Notes" on the history and classification of lifted mostly from Dr Weiger's "Chinese Characters", but adapted for students of Japanese. Then there is a set of rules for stroke combination, and seven pages of stroke-by-stroke examples - this saves the trouble of giving a stroke diagram for each kanji that he treats. In Chapter 1 shows a primitive sketch of an object or idea, two intermediate forms, and finally, the modern kanji. It is "fascinating" to watch the sketches morph across the page; they are, "alive with motion". . Chapter 2 uses only two either a primitive sketch or the ancient seal character, and then the modern kanji, sort of a "before and after" effect. Used in this way, the ancient seal characters are not an extra burden, but a help to the memory. Kanji are given in order of increasing stroke count, and this chapter ends with a collection of primitive elements. Chapter 3 is Chinese language, with its endless number of homonyms, needed a way to make written symbols distinctive, without making them too numerous. They decided to create pairs of a phonetic element to give the character its sound, and a radical to specify its meaning. Given as an example, the character "carpenter" - pronounced koo - that looks like a capital letter I. There are many words pronounced koo, but the radical element specifies the meaning. "Carpenter" paired with "strength" means "the word koo that has to do with strength = exploits." "Carpenter" paired with "water" means "the word koo that has to do with water = inlet." The book closes with an index of all characters each is shown as ancient seal character, modern handwritten, and modern typeface.
