Excerpt from My Chinese Note Book The following Notes were not penned in the presumptuous hope of adding materially to the existing knowledge of the subjects with which they deal. The first part of this book was the result of much reading, in a land where time is apt to hang heavily on the hands of the unemployed. Having collected many facts, I was tempted to put them together in an easy and consecutive form, regretting only that for obvious reasons I was prevented from bringing the historic notes up to date. Those pages in which the descriptive element predominates were written at the instigation of friends at home, and primarily for their amusement, whilst the account of my various experiences at the Chinese Court were undertaken with a View to faithfully putting on record the manner of those receptions in which, after so long and rigorous a seclusion, the reigning Son of Heaven and his Imperial Mother at last condescended (driven no doubt by foreign pressure) to put aside the veil which for centuries had shrouded the faces of majesty in China.

Excerpt from England Through Chinese Spectacles: Leaves From the Notebook of Wo Chang Without needlessly obtruding my personality and antecedents upon my readers, I deem it convenient to state briefly the origin of the present work. Innumerable volumes by English authors have appeared during the past half century, containing criticisms of the institutions, customs, religion, laws, and people of China. In most instances these works are from the pens of the "globetrotting" tribe, whose superficial impressions of a country and population so vast, ancient, and unique, must be regarded by every cultured Englishman as necessarily worthless. They are ignorant of the language and literature of our great sages and guides in philosophy, history, and romance. They touch at one or two coast towns, and possibly extend their journeys to the capital, but are just as unfit to appreciate the inner life of the people as a blind man would be to comprehend the artistic masterpieces of the National Gallery, or as one who is deaf would be to enjoy the music of a Handel Festival. Among Englishmen who have committed to print their opinions of my great and much misunderstood country, there are some noble and generous exceptions to the rule just alluded to.

Excerpt from Notes on Chinese Mediaeval Travellers to the West In publishing these pages, the principal object in view has been to furnish savants interested in the ancient history and geography of Asia, with some interesting materials found in ancient Chinese literature. I have tried to make these translations as correct as possible, and it seems to me, that Peking is the only place, where such investigations can be successfully made; for the greater part of the ancient Chinese books re quired for reference can hardly be found in any European library, or in other libraries elsewhere in China. Peking is also the residence, at the present time, of several of the most accomplished sinologues, besides which there is no want of erudite native scholars; so that even a begin ner, as I am, in this branch of knowledge, is in a position to under stand Chinese works of difficult style, which could hardly be translatedcorrectly in Europe. I am however, far from asserting that my version is unimpeachable. Every sinologue knows how apt the ambiguous Chinese style is to give rise to misunderstandings, and often the Chinese themselves are unable to solve the difficulties. At the time I wrote the translation of Ch'ang-ch'un' s travels, I had not access to a good book of reference for identifying the dates occurring in the Chinese text, with the corresponding European dates and I have therefore always given the Chinese dates, and mentioned the corresponding European days only approximately. Subsequently Mr. Wylie had the kindness to draw my attention to the importance of specifying the European dates, for Ch'ang-ch'un mentions precisely the date of a total eclipse of the sun, which was seen in western as well as in eastern Asia. As I know Mr. Wylie has given some attention to Chinese astronomy and chronology, I requested him to do me the favour of writing a few explanatory notes regarding this question, to which he kindly agreed. In conclusion I have to state, that instead of three narratives of travel as announced in the Introduction, one more is added, for which I need not apologize.

Excerpt from Progressive Exercises in the Chinese Written Language At the present day most students of Chinese, before applying themselves to the Literary or Documentary Language, devote a good deal of time to the Spoken Language, which they learn with the aid of manuals and exercise books. In so doing they acquire the knowledge of a considerable number of written Chinese words, or characters. Thus equipped, they are able satisfactorily to commence their attack upon whatever book they may choose for the purpose of initiating themselves into the mysteries of Literary Chinese. But very different is the position of the learner who wishes to begin his studies with the written language, and sets to work on, perhaps, the Classics, or, perhaps, a collection of Despatches, with absolutely no knowledge of any characters beyond the radicals. He is bewildered by the number of new words that he meets with in every line. He is not merely unable to grasp properly the construction of the sentences before him; but he is also hindered by the multiplicity of strange forms from learning even the characters themselves. It is specially to aid the beginner who wishes to go straight to the literary language, that these Exercises have been compiled; though it is hoped that other students may be able to work through them with advantage.

Long interested in the history of China and in the countries of the Silk Road, she has travelled widely in Asia and Europe, seeking places with their historical connections. Her encounter with James Legge combined her professional interests with her interests in Asian history. The challenging events that James Legge experienced across his life in Hong Kong revealed his exceptional linguistic talents and steadfast resilience, her own "peculiar department", as Legge described his interests. As she discovered his rich blend of talent and resilience in a setting of great political and cultural conflict, she wanted more people to know about this outstanding man.
