Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Analects of Confucius
Should the reader derive as much benefit from his study of this fine old Classic as I have derived from translating it, his time will be well spent. For several months I have been living with a gentleman, China's greatest gentleman, whose company I have found edifying to the character, and whose sententious sayingsi have again found, after twenty years of compulsory neglect, to reveal the nobility of human life from a thoughtful Chinaman's standpoint, and to enable one the better to present the rubies of Eter nal Christian Truth, fresh polished and in more graceful setting.
