Overview

Excerpt from Hanlin Papers: Second Series, Essays on the History, Philosophy, and Religion of the Chinese A Book like this, consisting of a series of Papers, - the slow growth of years, - possesses one conspicuous advantage over a work more hastily written. It is not made to order; but each Essay springs from the spontaneous inclination of the author, and gives the results of his special studies. The Papers in this volume fall under the general heads of History, Philosophy, and Religion. Some of the topics, such as International Law and Diplomacy in ancient China, are so new that they have never before been treated by any writer, native or foreign. One or two, however, resemble more or less subjects treated in the First Series but they will in all cases be found to be characterized by new views or ampler treatment.
