‎Hong Kong : London Mission Society Press c1861 ; Shanghai : Shanghai Shangye Yingshuguan n.d. 1861. Very Good. 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 大學 da xue or Great Learning 中庸 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 ¹Ë ¹ 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 unf [Hong Kong : London Mission Society Press, c1861] ; Shanghai : Shanghai Shangye Yingshuguan, n.d. hardcover‎

But will they'. 400 Million Customers is essential reading for all foreigners seeking to do business in the booming economies of Asia and all analysts of globalization and cultural difference. Carl Crow opened the first western advertising agency in Shanghai and ran it for twenty-five years promoting everything from American lipsticks and moisturizers to French brandy and pharmaceuticals and nothing was straightforward. In this highly readable account of his work in Shanghai illustrated with delightful line drawings Crow uses anecdotes and examples to illustrate the particular challenges of doing business in China. In Crow's time no foreigners managed to dominate the Chinese market and today -- when the population of China has trebled - the question remains whether the country is a potential mass market for the west or a golden illusion. Crow's book remains as apt now as when it was written in 1937 and leading business schools recommend it as one of the best accounts of Chinese business culture." ; VG This listing contains text in Chinese GB fonts New York & London : Harper & Brothers, Publishers, 1937. hardcover‎
