Note 303 — Chapter XI · CLASSICAL LITERATURE OF THE CHINESE.

Some fourteen hundred and fifty treatises on the Yih—consisting of memoirs, digests, expositions, etc.—are enumerated in the Catalogue. The foreign literature upon it has heretofore been scant. The only other translations of the classic in extenso, besides Dr. Legge’s, already quoted, are the Y-King; Antiquissimus Sinarum liber quem ex latina interpretatione; P. Regis, aliorumque ex Soc. Jesu P. P., edidit Julius Mohl, 2 vols., Stuttgart, 1834-39; and A Translation of the Confucian Yih King, or the Classic of Change, by the Rev. Canon McClatchie, Shanghai, 1876 (with Chinese text). Compare further Notice du livre chinois nommé Y-king, avec des notes, par M. Claude Visdelou, contained in Père Gaubil’s Chou king, Paris, 1843; Die verbogenen Alterthümer der Chineser aus dem uralten Buche Yeking untersuchet, von M. Joh. Heinrich Schuhmacher, Wolfenbüttel, 1763; Joseph Haas, in Notes and Queries on China and Japan, Vol. III., 1869; China Review, Vols. I., p. 151; IV., p. 257; and V., p. 132.
