1809ref. 149588Serampore: Printed at the Mission Press 1809. First English translation of the Analects of Confucius printed at Serampore the first major center of English printing in Chinese. Quarto Vol. I all published bound in modern half calf gilt-lettered morocco spine label gilt stamping to the spine in six compartments within raised gilt bands half-title 4pp. errata Chinese and English text without the 'Dissertation on the Chinese Language and Character' and its four tables and the 17pp. postscript. In very good condition. A very nice example. The first English translation of the Analects Lunyu of Confucius Baptist missionary Marshman's translation contains the first five of twenty books and was printed at Serampore the first major center of English printing in Chinese. The first complete translation by James Legge was published decades later in 1861. A collection of sayings attributed to Confucius the Analects were likely compiled posthumously by his followers. The Analects' reputation grew to surpass that of the Five Classics and became one of the texts underpinning the Confucian system which held sway over China for two millennia. Joshua Marshman William Carey and William Ward established a Baptist mission and press at Danish-controlled Serampore in 1800 beyond the control of the East India Company. The Company discouraged missionary activity and maintained a policy of press censorship within its territories. Marshman and his fellow missionaries had ambitious plans for proselytizing across Asia and he had studied Arabic Greek Hebrew Latin and Syriac before he even reached India. In India he first learned Bangali and Sanskrit. Next he turned to Chinese which he studied intensively under the guidance of Johannes Lassar scion of a wealthy Armenian trading family in Macao and assisted by several Chinese tutors. This book dates from the first phase of Chinese language printing in Serampore with Chinese character printed using woodblock characters carved by Bengali textile workers whose carved woodblocks were employed to print patterns onto calico. The second phase would only being in 1813 when moveable metal type replaced woodblocks which enormously increased efficiently as it permitted many more impressions. The Chinese publications for the Mission Press were principally evangelical; Lassar and Marshman translated large sections of the Old and New Testaments into Chinese and saw Serampore as an ideal position from which to spread the Chinese gospel free from imperial Chinese censorship. The East India Company too was increasingly interested in the study of Chinese for political reasons. Their Indian territories abutted the Chinese forts in Tibet and the memory of Macartney's diplomatic failure in 1792 remained fresh. Another diplomatic mission would require translators and the Company had no competent Chinese interpreters in India at the turn of the century. Marshman dedicated this work toe the Governor-General of Bengal Lord Minto who subsidized the cost of printing in Chinese at Serampore despite his personal hostility to missionary activity with British India.

The publisher's copy with the beautiful redwood box Limited edition number 334 of 1500 copies the copy of George Macy 1900-1956 the founder of the Limited Editions Club with his inked initials and blind stamp on the limitation page. Lionel Giles's translation of the Analects was first published in 1907 and is distinctive for grouping Confucius's sayings thematically rather than according to the classic chapter arrangement. Giles produced his interpretation as a rejoinder to the efforts of the great missionary sinologist James Legge. According to the introduction Legge with his belief in the innate superiority of Christianity misinterpreted Confucianism's "very core and essence" p. 4. Large octavo.

The Morals of Confucius A Chinese Philosopher Who Flourished above Five Hundred Years before the Coming of Christ. Being One of the Choicest Pieces of Learning Remaining of That Nation.

Reproduction of the 1691 first edition by the British Library in circa 1780.

To this our present copy has an ownership inscription dated "1776". Full contemporary calf rebacked to style. Contemporary red morocco spine label lettered in gilt. Top edge dyed brown. Rubbing and scuffing to boards and edges. Front outer hinge cracking along spine. A bit of offsetting to the title page. A few instances of foxing. Previous owner's old ink signatures to front endpapers one of which dated 1776. Some very light browning. Hinges slightly cracked. Otherwise a very good copy. Early printing of Confucius in English containing selections from the works of the philosopher translated from La Morale de Confucius a compilation by J. de la Brune published in Amsterdam in 1688. De la Brune's translation in turn was adapted from the Latin translation of Confucius's Ta Hsueh Chung Yung and the Lun Yu by Intorcetta Couplet Herdtrich and Rougemont published in Paris in 1687. "Confucius was one of the most noted philosophers in Chinese history some have even compared his contributions to Eastern philosophy to those of Socrates in the West. This edition printed in 1691 is interesting in several respects. It shows an awareness of Eastern ideas that one would not normally associate with 17th century England. Additionally the author of this work attempts to put Confucius' ideas into a Western/Christian context. In the advertisement at the front it is stressed that though Confucius was a pagan his ideas are not inconsistent with the teachings of the Bible and his desire for achieving virtue and morality is certainly consistent with the beliefs of 17th century Christian philosophers" Remnant Trust Collection.
