Life and Works of Mencius #230297

The author then began to take Mencius in hand, and to give the translation and notes in the second volume of his larger fork a careful revision. That was published in and, as a result of his studies during, the intervening years, he saw that some improvement might be effected in his earlier labours. He therefore wrote out afresh the translation of the seven Books of Mencius, and the notes also with a special view to their suitability to an edition of the Chinese philosopher for general readers. The volume thus prepared is now submitted to the Public.
