Book Description
Excerpt from The Sacred Edict: With a Translation of the Colloquial Rendering Notes and Vocabulary The Student of Chinese whose aim is to acquire a good knowledge of colloquial, is speedily confronted by two difficulties. On the one hand, few teachers will talk to their pupils as they talk to their fellow-countrymen; while on the other, there is a great scarcity of suitable books, such as works of travel, history, adventure, etc., written in everyday language. The consequence is, that in many cases the beginner falls into a style of language, which though intelligible is not by any means "a well of Chinese undefiled." Novels and moral treatises written from a Buddhist standpoint do indeed abound, but the former are, as a rule, loaded with all manner of indecency both of thought and expression, and the latter soon become very tedious reading. And even in books, to whose subject matter no one can take exception, a page or two of colloquial is commonly followed by several pages written in the Uen-li, i.e., literary style. In the Sacred Edict the Student will find a thesaurus of everyday words, phrases, and idioms; and he who has it at his tongue's end and knows how to use it, may safely count upon being "well understanded of the common people." In its original form, the Sacred Edict consisted merely in the sixteen Maxims of the Emperor K'ang-hsi, each containing seven words, and written in the highest literary style. These were issued as a Hortatory Edict in 1670, and were hung up in prominent positions in the law courts of the Empire. In 1724 Iong-cheng (K'ang-hsi s son and successor) republished the Edict in an enlarged form, superadding a series of ample expositions of his father's texts, written in a simple literary style.

Book Description
First published in 1967, this is a study which tackles the central problem of meaning, within Ezra Pound's The Cantos. It deals with the question of important critical issues, as well as of interpretation and understanding. Students of modern poetry will derive great benefit from this vigorous and lucid analysis of Pound's masterpiece. Noel Stock's finding is radical: that The Cantos is not a really a poem at all, but rather notes towards a poem. It is a collection of fragments of varying quality - some of extraordinary power and beauty - but in no sense formed into a work of art.

Book Description
The present collection was written to commemorate the third centenary of the death of the Portuguese Jesuit, Tomás Pereira (1645–1708). Dealing with some of the most decisive and controversial moments in the history of the Jesuit mission in China during the Kangxi era (1662–1722), these essays were produced by an international team of scholars and cover a wide range of topics that reflect a permanent academic interest, in Europe and America as well as in China, in the history of the Catholic mission in China, Sino-Russian diplomacy, the history of Western science and music in China, intercultural history, and history of art. While the names of such missionaries as Matteo Ricci, Adam Schall and Ferdinand Verbiest are well known, Pereira has been relatively neglected, and this volume seeks to redress that imbalance. Pereira was important as a musician and diplomat and was closer to the Kangxi emperor than any other Westerner, something that enabled him to exert considerable influence for the protection of the Chinese Christians and also to further the interests of Portugal in China. However, towards the end of his life he saw his efforts undermined by the damaging consequences of the papal legation to China led by Charles-Thomas Maillard de Tournon.
