Rh  46. ~ g a a E g, ‘On. the Connexion between the Notices in the text of the Ch‘un Ts‘éw.’ In 11 Books; also by Maou K‘ -ling. The Work arose out of a. dispute between Maou and the other Examiners at the competition for the third degree in 1,685, they contending that the connexion could only be discovered by means of the Chuen, and he that it could be ascertained from the text itself. The editors of the ‘Catalogue of the Books in the Imperial Libraries (£3 E  E)’ condemn it as inferior to Maou’s other productions on the Ch‘un Ts‘éw; but, like every other thing thathe wrote, there is a great deal of force in many of his reasonings.

47. i E, ‘The most important Points in the Interpreta- tion of the (lh‘un Ts‘éw Determined.’ ln 6 Books; by Le Shin- kuh (£5 5: ﬂ; styled ﬂ). The writer adopts the K‘ang—hc Ch‘un Ts‘éw as the standard for interpreting the Classic, but now and then introduces a view of his own. It is a useful Work.

One may get a good many suggestions from it.

49. g R E 1% 2F %, ‘ Quiet Discussions on Tso's Commentary on the Ch‘un 'l‘s'ew.’ In 3 Books; by Yu Yneh (ﬁ 13%; styled g i); like the last, a Very recent writer. These 3 Books are only a portion of a large Work on all the classics, published in 1,866. He is helpful in determining the punctuation of the original; in ﬁxing the exact meaning of characters; and on the interchanging use of characters by the ancient writers.

50_ ‘ The Elegancies of Tso.’ In 30 Books; by F ung Le-hwa (iﬁgﬁ; styled j Ba), and Luh Haou (lg-E; styled After varions preliminary matter on the best way of reading the Tso Chuen, &c., the pages in the body of the Work are divided into two parts. In the lower part there are given the text and Tso’s Com- mentary, with the comments of Too Yu at length, Luh Tih-ming’s pronunciation of characters, and the glosses of Lin Yaou-sow (
