Excerpt from The Chinese Classics, Vol. 1 of 7: With a Translation, Critical and Exegetical Notes, and Copious Indexes It would have been an easy matter to swell the volume now presented to double the size. In the Chinese Commentators he had abundant materials to do so; but the author's object has been to condense rather than expand. He has not sought to follow Choo He or any other authority. The text, and not the commentary, has been his study. He has read the varying views of scholars exten sively, but only that he might the better understand what was written in the Book. He has also consulted the renderings of other translators, but never till he had made his own. He may have sometimes altered his own to adopt a happier expression from them, but the translation is independent. He has not made frequent mention in his notes of the labours of other scholars,-not because he undervalues them, but because there was no necessity to call atten tion to the circumstance, where he agreed with them, and where he differed, he thought it more seemly to avoid doubtful disputations.
