He has so well said what we should have liked to say ourselves that it is difficult to avoid plagiarising from his own words in our endeavour to point out both the uses of His work and the peculiar phases of Chinese thought which they illustrate, We shall perhaps best do him justice and good service by first of all aketching the plan of his book,
