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.
