Lee Erika
At America's Gates: Chinese Immigration during the Exclusion Era, 1882-1943
8vo, br. ed. pp.348. With the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, Chinese laborers became the first group in American history to be excluded from the United States on the basis of their race and class. This landmark law changed the course of U.S. immigration history, but we know little about its consequences for the Chinese in America or for the United States as a nation of immigrants. At America's Gates is the first book devoted entirely to both Chinese immigrants and the American immigration officials who sought to keep them out. Erika Lee explores how Chinese exclusion laws not only transformed Chinese American lives, immigration patterns, identities, and families but also recast the United States into a "gatekeeping nation." Immigrant identification, border enforcement, surveillance, and deportation policies were extended far beyond any controls that had existed in the United States before. Drawing on a rich trove of historical sources--including recently released immigration records, oral histories, interviews, and letters--Lee brings alive the forgotten journeys, secrets, hardships, and triumphs of Chinese immigrants. Her timely book exposes the legacy of Chinese exclusion in current American immigration control and race relations.

Leffman David
The Mercenary Mandarin: How A British Adventurer Became A General In Qing-Dynasty China
8vo, br. ed. 372pp. William Mesny ran off to sea as a boy and jumped ship at Shanghai in 1860 when he was just 18. Amid the chaos of foreign intrigue and civil war in 19th-century China, he became a smuggler, a prisoner of the Taiping rebels, a gun-runner and finally enlisted in the Chinese military. After five years of fierce campaigning against the Miao in remote Guizhou province, Mesny rose to the rank of general and used this privileged position to travel around China - to the borders with Burma, Tibet and Vietnam - writing opinionated newspaper articles, collecting plants and advising government officials on the development of railways, telegraphs and other modern reforms. Mesny eventually settled in Shanghai with a 16-year-old concubine and published Mesny's Chinese Miscellany, a weekly magazine about his experiences. But his story was not to end well. After his implication in an illicit arms deal, his fortunes never recovered, and when he died in 1919 he was working as a desk clerk. David Leffman has spent over 15 years footstepping Mesny's travels across China, interviewing locals and piecing together his life story from contemporary journals, private letters and newspaper articles

Legge, James, (1815-1897) [顧鹿 Gu Lu][王韜 Wang Tao?, (1828-1897)] Confucius ; Legge, James, (1815-1897) [顧鹿 Gu Lu][王韜 Wang Tao?, (
è¨»é‡‹æ ¡æ£è¯è‹±å››æ›¸;顧鹿著 zhu shi jiao zheng hua ying si shu; gu lu shuAnnotated Corrected Chinese-English Four Books; Gu Lu Arranger The Four Books Chinese Classics in EnglishGreat Learning; Moderation; Analects of Confucius; Mencius
<p>1 298 378 pp. ; bound in Chinese fashion with folded sheets right to left in a western-style mid-nineteenth century cloth board cover binding with decorations ; James Legge the famous Scottish sinologist and missionary of the London Missionary Society was born in Huntly Aberdeenshire Scotland on Dec 20th 1815. He graduated from Highbury Theological College in 1837 joined the London Missionary Society in 1838 and went to Malacca in 1839 as a missionary. In 1843 Legge arrived in Hong Kong and remained there until 1873 except for three short trips back to Scotland. In 1876 Legge became the first professor of Chinese at the University of Oxford and died in 1897 ; This is the first volume of Legge's monumental translation of nine sacred books of Chinese literature in a very probable 1st edition 1st Chinese printing with mixed asian and western binding materials and containing the texts of the å¤§å¸ da xue or Great Learning ä¸åº¸ zhung yong Moderation or Doctrine of the Mean 論語 lung yü The Analects of Confucius and åŸå meng zi Mencius ; with Chinese text printed at top translation in the middle and commentary at bottom ; while this is clearly Legge's text the author's name is given in Chinese fashion as 顧鹿 Gu Lu or loosely translated "Watchman Deer" which more probably and properly should be rendered "Lu Gu" for "Leg-ge" ; The difficulties of printing this first volume were recounted by the author's daughter: "The printing office being under his control he had to superintend the publication and binding of his works and to send to England for paper printing ink etc. Among his minor worries was the fact that the volumes of Classics had to come out in various bindings. Uniformity of binding could not be secured because materials were scanty in Hong Kong. Also owing to the lack of English booksellers he had to get the storekeepers to sell the Classics on commission among their other wares. On one occasion the ship containing all his printing paper and ink struck upon a rock and went down within sight of her anchorage in Hong Kong harbour. Her masts sticking up above the sea were visible from his verandah. 'It gave me quite a turn he said my first thought was that the fates were fighting against my getting oin with the publication of my volumes. I have since been able to look the event in the face. There must be some delay in the commencement of printing but I shall be so much more advanced with my manuscripts that we can start with five men instead of three. I had engaged Sow-lung and two other men to begin printing on the first of June. If he begins now in November or December with four other men we shall be in six months nearly as far as we should have been. In the meantime I telegraph by the mail--Replace invoice immediately sending one half by Suez Canal and one half round Cape--this will divide the risk.' After printing the books in Hong Kong he had to write to England for cases to be sent out in which to pack them and send them to England to his bookseller. 'Four hundred cases for one volume ought to be here any day and four hundred for the other volume next month. Those cases will cost me about fifty pounds.' .Another time certain cases of his books.arrived after having been for a long time under water in the hold. 'I insured them for £250--I shall claim for at least £80. Meantime the ruin of many books and the spoiling of others is a great vexation.' He sent several of his books to a friend to sell in Amoy and received the following letter: 'Alas for your Classics. Macgregor delivered them in the condition he got them out of the wreck. I had them put in the sun and thoroughly dried but I could not offer them to subscribers. The mould has got into the inside and even if rebound they will never be sightly. It is a sad loss.' ; after Legge's death in 1897 in a sermon given by Dr. Edkins at Shanghai Legge's work was described as: "His object was to unfold the Chinese field of thought and reveal the foundation of the moral social and political life of the people. Such a great work is undertaken but rarely perhaps not more than once in a century.To know what the book contains is to be in an advantageous position to judge of the people. Here the European statesman can see the nature of the people's standard of morals. The histories they read their models of style the ground of their conservatism can here be estimated.Here are the maxims which are popular here are the ideals that rule in the minds of the scholars and all the people. Here are the principles that sway every coterie through all the provinces. What the Bible is to the Christian what Shakespeare is to the student of English poetry what the Koran is to the Mohammedan these books are to the universal Chinese mind." ; Helen Edith Legge continues "As time allowed Dr. Legge had pushed on with his literary labours until as part of it neared completion he asked himself 'How can the expense of publication be met' A British merchant in Hong Kong Mr. Joseph Jardin came forward with an open-hearted offer for help. 'If you are prepared for the toil of publication' he said 'I will bear the expense of it. We make our money in China and we should be glad to assist in whatever promises to be of benefit to it.' With gratitude Dr. Legge accepted his help and thus the first edition of Vol. I of the Classics was brought out in Hong Kong in 1861." ; Joseph Jardine died before publication of the first volume but his brother Sir Robert Jardine continued the assistance ; extremely rare ; VG This listing contains text in Chinese GB fonts</p> [Hong Kong : London Mission Society Press, c1861] ; 上海商务英書馆 [Shanghai : Shanghai Shangye Yingshuguan, n.d. hardcover

Lelièvre, Dominique
Voyageurs chinois à la découverte du monde. De l'Antiquité au XIXe Siècle
broché, 8vo 472 pp. COMME NEUF. Bien que souvent méconnus en Occident, nombreux sont les Chinois à avoir quitté leur pays et parcouru le monde. De l'Antiquité au XIXe siècle, à l'instar des grands explorateurs européens, un courant inverse de voyageurs partait de la Chine vers l'Ouest. Tout comme ces personnages eux-mêmes, les motifs de leurs périples étaient variés et parfois surprenants. Bravant courageusement les pires dangers, ils partaient vers l'inconnu, généralement envoyés en missions diplomatique, commerciale, ou encore religieuse, à la recherche des textes fondateurs du Bouddhisme afin de rapporter la doctrine pure en Chine. L'auteur de cet ouvrage a réuni, pour la première fois, les documents et les témoignages qui relatent ces aventures. En citant leurs textes ou en abordant le sujet du point de vue des voyageurs eux-mêmes, il retrace les relations que ces Chinois entretenaient avec les autres pays, leur regard sur le monde, ainsi que leur rapport avec l'Empire du Milieu.
