The rolitical economist will find much food for thought in the writings of these old masters.
Here, for example, is the "back to the land idea expressed a century before the coming of Christ by the Imperial Counsellor Chao Tso: "Crime begins in poverty: poverty in insufficiency of food: insufficiency of food seein neglect of agriculture. Without agriculture, man has no tie to bind him to the soil. With- our such tie. he readily leaves his birthplace and his home."
Let us quote another philo sopher on the question of hoarding wealth. He was urged by his kinsmen to invest a sum of money, granted him by the Emperor, in landed property for his descend- ants and here are his words: -
There is the family estate. Let! them (his childrent work hard upon it, and that toil will find them in clothes and fod, like fother people. To add anything. and so create a superfluity: would be to hold up a premium for sloth. The genius of men who prosess is įstunted by possession.

These are but two little gems dug out from the store which Professor Giles places in the reach of us all. They will serve to illustrate the words of wisdom with which the volume abounds.
The companion volume of Verse is an enlarged edition of that, published in 1898 which has long since been out of print. The translations are in rhyme. It is indeed a rich casket of jewels which is here opened up to us. Humour, pathos,,
love and argument all are to be found, and the translator has wonder- fully managed to mine the gems without damaging them they sparkle and scintille te as though in their native bed. Here is a dainty 'little verse from the pen of Wei, Ying-wu (8th Century A.D.):-
