From the advertisement on p. 1: The volume "is quite small if we look at the number of pages that make it up; but it is undoubtedly very large if we consider the importance of the things contained there. We can say that the morality of this philosopher is infinitely sublime but at the same time it is simple sensitive and drawn from the purest sources of natural reason. Certainly never has reason deprived of the light of divine revelation appeared so developed nor with so much force. As there is no duty which Confucius does not speak of there is none which he disregards. He pushes his morality well but he does not push it further than necessary his judgment always letting him know how far he must go and where he must stop." Brunet II 222.
