language has them.

Strictly

speaking, they

are neither

The groups of characters under mcst of these radicals naturally refer to

the leading idea; about one-third of them are more arbitrary, a large part of .
the characters under them having no reference to their radical. Those of the {
latter sort are usually primitives, of which there are about 1700 in the whole,
language. The selection of radicals is quite modern, and might bo improved '/
but having come into general use, it would be more difficult to introduce* new g
one than it is to learn the difficulties of this. The radicals are fiere further,
arranged into something like natural groups.
