    Excerpt from The Wanderer on a Thousand HillsMer President of the Chinese Imperial University, to whose volume, The Lore of Cathay, she has had fre quent recourse in the composition of this novel. Similar use has been made of Rev. Justus Doolittle 's Social Life of the Chinese, published in 1868. The lines from the San Tzu Citing or Trimetrical Classic which occur in this book are given in the usual romanised spelling with a translation by Hubert A. Giles. With respect to the rhyming couplets which are put into the mouth of the two young women in the House of Song, no pretence is made to reproduce in them the wonderful precision and elegance which characterise a true Chinese distich, of which Dr. Martin says These couplets often con tain two propositions in each number, accompanied by all the usual modifying terms; and so exact is the sym metry required by the rules of the art that not only must noun, verb, adjective, and particle respond to each other with scrupulous exactness, but the very tones Of the characters are adjusted to each other with the precision of music. If the author has succeeded in conveying something of the Spirit of these charming impromptu couplets whose composition still constitutes a favourite pastime among the beaua: esprits of China, affording them, as Dr. Martin points out, a fine vehicle for sallies of wit, she will have accomplished her aim.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

    Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
