Rh  [xiii] if a E R a, ‘ Supplementary Comments on the Chuen of Tso-she.’ In 10 Books, by the same Chaou Fang. A valu- able Work. The writer has before him the three early Commentaries, and it is his object to correct errors and supply defects in Tso from Kung-yang and Kuh-leang. He has also before him the labours of Too Yu on Tso and of Ch'in Foo-l'éang on Kuh-léang, and he en- deavours ‘ to take what is long in the one to supplement what is short in the other.’

19. g a f; ﬁll, ‘ The Laws of the Ch‘un Ts‘éw Explained.‘ By Too Yu; in 10 Books. This was a production of Too Yu, after he had completed his great Work on Tso’s Chuen. It contains laws of style under 42 heads; then proceeds to the names of places, gene alogies, and Too’s scheme of the chronology of the Ch‘un-Ts‘éw period. It seems to me that three different Works of Too have here got mixed together. Choo E-tsun mentions the Laws of Style as a Work by itself, published under the Sung dynasty in 15 Books; noting that he had not been able to see it. He also notices the Chronology as a Work by itself, saying that only Too’s preface to it remains. Indeed the whole was long supposed to be lost, but it was reproduced, as we have it now, in 1,77 7, from a Collection made in the period Yang-10h (l,403—1,424) of the Ming dynasty.

20. The E ﬁ ﬂ it}? contains several Works on the Ch‘un Ts‘éw by the scholars of the present dynasty. I have used :—

[i.] 25 lg m  IE, ‘ Supplement, with Corrections, to Ted: Explanations of the Tso Chuen.’ In 3 Books; by Koo Yen-woo (See proleg. vol. IV., p. 101). Contains many useful hints for the translator of Tso. Koo makes much use of two scholars of the Ming dynasty,—Shaou Paou (all g) and F00 Sun (ﬂ 3), who had made it their business to discover the mistakes of Too.

[ii] $- ﬁ ‘Jottings in the study of the Ch‘un Ts‘éw.‘ In 10 Books; by Wan Sze-ta (& w? k; styled 7E $3 born in 1,633, died in 1,783. Wan was well acquainted with the Le Ke, the ofﬁcial Book of Chow, and the E Le, and most of his remarks are based upon them. Chinese scholars praise him as having always good ground for what he says. I confess I have been inclined to call in question—now his Authorities, and now his interpretation of them.

[iii] % a 5% Kg, ‘Commentary on the Ch‘un Ts‘éw by Maou.’ This is the work of Maou K‘e-ling of whom I have had much to say in my previous volumes. In 35 Books. It is every- where referred to in my notes. Occasionally one has to differ from
