Note 736 — Chapter XI · THE STATE (B) STATE AND HISTORY (continued 2)
Charles Francis Atkinson translation
From the few European works that concern themselves with questions of ancient Chinese history, it emerges that Chinese literature contains a very great amount of material bearing on this period, which corresponds in innumerable parallels to our own present time. But there is a total lack of any political treatment of it that can be taken seriously.
