The lack of these two plates does not detract from what is an early and delightful depiction of life in China that catered to the fasci - nation with China at the beginning of the 19th century.

333 [Bible] Gutzlaff, Karl et al救. tr世an主s: 耶JI穌US新H遺I Z詔H書 U YESU XIN YIZHAO SHU. (The New Testament of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ). . N.p. [Hong Kong], n.d. [1849/50] 1, 1, 16, 10, 17, 36, 46 folded leaves. 19 columns of 38 characters. 26x18 cm. Stitched. £1,500.00 An interesting ‘mid-period’ Gutzlaff Version of the New Testament displaying significant variations in the text when compared with both earlier and later versions, not so much in terms of key terminology but in the niceties of literary Chinese grammar, especially the use of particular grammatical particles and conjunctions. Although this edition has no date or place of publication, it has, thankfully, a mass of contemporary inscriptions which serve to date it quite accurately. The notes are interesting and we transcribe them below: On a preliminary leaf inside the front (Chinese order or verso) cover: “Dr. Gutzlaffs Chinese / New Testament // Richard Ball — / Received fr. Hong Kong / Nov. 1850” On the outer back cover: “Tien-choo” = “Ld. of Heaven”. Romanists / “Shin” = any “spirit” two thirds of the Prot. Miss. / “Shang- tee” = “Supreme Ruler” one third of the Prot Miss; Dr. Gutzlaff, Staunton, Bp. of Victoria [Confucius], the Insurgents // Chinese New Testament / Dr. Gutzlaff’s Version / Cost per copy / Inclusive 3d to 3 1/8d / Cost of the Entire Bible in 5 vols: 2/-[?] / Mem: Dr. Gut - zlaff’s Chinese Bible is comprised in Five Volumes — viz: / Vol 1. Genesis to Joshua / 2. Judges-Chronicles / 3. Ezra-Isaiah / 4. Jere - miah-Malachi / 5. The New Testament In addition, there is a loose piece of blue paper inserted with the following inscription: “The insurgent chief *now* engaged in print - ing the entire Bible — / Each copy is bound in the Imperial yellow — emblazoned with the Imperial arms and inscribed / “A new edi - tion issued by the celestial dynasty of Tae-ping in the third year of his reign.” However, although this copy is finely bound in ‘Imperial yellow’ there is no sign of the inscription. Whilst the place of publication remains open to speculation, there is a likelihood that it was published in Hong Kong. LIST 179 – 31 – FROM OUR STOCK

The dating of the work is based on the above notes as follows: Hong Kong formally became a British colony on the 5th April 1843 and the Bishopric of Victoria in Hong Kong was established in 1849. Richard Ball’s inscription places to 1850 or before. We are being conservative in our approach and assume the work was received from Hong Kong shortly after its publication, thus tentatively dating its publication to 1849 or 1850. This New Testament is printed on a soft white paper. The impression is somewhat unusual. The inking is clear and not actually faint in any way other than through the effects of age and expected variation, however, the book does give the impression of a grey cast to the inking that is unusual for Chinese printed books. The binding of this copy is also of a higher quality than that of the other copy of this edition we have handled. The outer covers are yellow lined with gold-flecked endpapers and a blank leaf to protect the title page. Insides are generally clean, and overall condition is good. Rare.

It lies on the Northern Silk Road in the Turfan depression. The site is also known as Shikchin/Shikshin/Shorchuk and is near Karashahr. It is also referred to by the generic name, Mingoi. The site was investigated by Grunwedel during the Third Turfan Expedition of 1905 to 1907, by Stein in 1907 whilst on his second expedition (described in Serindia) and also by Oldenburg during the Russian expedi - tions to Turkestan in 1909 and 1914. Whilst descriptions of the site, and finds made there, were published in the accounts of the above explorers, very little has been published since. This work systematically describes and illustrates in fine full page colour plates the arte - facts discovered and excavated by Oldenburg (the majority dating from the Tang dynasty) and now held in the collection of the Her - mitage Museum in St. Petersburg. Includes very fine stucco paintings of Buddhist deities, terracotta figurines, wooden pieces etc. Also reproduces the numerous black-and-white photographs taken by the Oldenburg expedition, together with a few plans and drawings.

Boards, paper label. £200.00 Author’s presentation copy. Limited to 500 copies, of which 100 were presented to Emerson’s grandson, Edward Waldo Forbes, who financed the project. Ralph Waldo Emerson was one of the earliest foreign influences on the intellectual activity of Japan after the Meiji Restoration. Baron Naibu Kanda is regarded as having the distinction of being Emerson’s first Japanese disciple. The Baron encoun - tered the Sage of Concord during his time at Amherst College. When he returned to Japan in 1879, Kanda was appointed instructor of the Preparatory School for Tokyo University — a position which gave him ample opportunity to introduce Emerson to a young and receptive audience. Bunsho Jugaku’s bibliography is still regarded in Japan as a milestone in English studies. The text includes a pre - LIST 179 – 41 – FROM OUR STOCK

525 McLeod, N: ILLUSTRATIONS TO THE EPITOME OF THE ANCIENT HISTORY OF JAPAN. Including Illustrations to Guide Book. Second Edition. Kyoto, 1878. iv, 80 pp. b/w engravings, 2 pp. list of plates. 17x28 cm. Stitched. Cloth cover with some wear. £400.00 McLeod published this work as a companion volume to his ‘Epitome of the History of Japan’ published in Nagasakai in 1875. Very little is known about McLeod in Japan other than he worked first as an accountant and then as a curio dealer. He also published a number of works in which he was obsessed with establishing links between ancient Japan and the Lost Tribes of Israel. Amongst other claims, he stated that the first known king of Japan was called Osee and identified him with Hoshea, the last King of Israel who died in 722 B.C. His works, as here, contain extensive comparison of the rituals of Shintoism and Judaism as evidence of the links between ancient Japan and Israel. Twenty or so pages has illustration of subjects in which McLeod seeks to link Japan with Israel and Pales - tine. There are a number of pages which contain illustration relating to the Ainu and ‘Southern Aborigines’ of Japan. The remainder of the illustration is purely Japan-related in content. The preface states that: ‘The Engravings are the workmanship of the best Japan - ese artists; but as they have had as yet so little experience of foreign letters, the execution is imperfect.’ The entire work has a some - what bizarre, uncanny quality that stems from its hybrid methods of reproduction and representation — especially Japanese artists executing western-style engravings, including typography, and their occasional awkwardness when confronted with western subjects. The work is an early example of cultural interaction between Japan and the West. There are water stains to the edges of a number of pages and some foxing. Very rare. Priced accordingly.

tively listing the contents of each, from cloisonné and paintings to rare books, imperial edicts, furniture and jades. This is a facsimile of their report. The original was never generally available, being held for the sole use of government officials, due to its political sen - sitivity at the time. This report remains the most comprehensive and complete listing of the treasures of the Gugong and was under - taken at a time when the imperial collection was intact in one place — particularly important given that many of the treasures are now divided between Beijing and Taibei. Over 1.1 million objects are described. The importance of this work is further enhanced in that it also contains (in volume 10) the 1933 government survey of the objects and treasures held in the Summer Palace (the Yiheyuan) enti - tled ‘Diancha Beiping Yiheyuan Liuping Wupin Qing Ce’.

Shanghai, 2002. 635 pp. Colour plates throughout with many illustrations of close-up detail, 3 panoramic foldouts, colophons and seals. 43x30 cm. Cloth. £1,450.00 A landmark exhibition at the Shanghai Museum to celebrate its 50th anniversary. 72 masterpieces — fine early paintings and callig - raphy from the three best collections in China — the Palace Museum in Beijing (22), with the Shanghai (32), and Liaoning Museums (18) — were brought together. Seventeen works date from the Jin, Sui and Tang; 37 from the Five Dynasties, Northern and Southern Song and 18 from the Yuan dynasty. Many were loaned for the first time and, in the case of the Palace Museum loans, had not left the Forbidden City since entering the Imperial collection. Combining masterpieces from the three collections meant that this was the first time such works had been displayed together and the curators purposely chose related paintings to give scholars and visitors the op - portunity to assess their respective merits. Take, for example, three handscrolls attributed to the 10th century master, Dong Yuan. The three scrolls are all inscribed by the Ming painter and connoisseur, Dong Qichang. Even he, however, did not have the opportunity to compare the three works together! Many famous paintings featured in the exhibition, including the ‘Night Revels’ of Han Xizai and the 12th century handscroll ‘Qingming Shanghe Tu’. Work by all Four Masters of the Yuan was represented and the calligraphies in - cluded the ‘Letter to Bo Yuan’ by Wang Xun which the Qianlong emperor treasured as one of the three greatest calligraphic works and housed in the Sanxi Tang. A major scholarly resource on early Chinese painting and calligraphy. The reproductions of some of the exhibits are the best avail - able. Nearly all the works are shown both in sections that allows close-up examination of detail together with views of the entire work for the overall effect. A magnificent catalogue which went out-of-print immediately. Essays by Yang Renkai, Shan Guolin and Xiao Yanyi. Prefaces and captions in English. Main text in Chinese.

694 Whitfield, Roderick: THE ART OF CENTRAL ASIA. The Stein Collection in the British Museum. Tokyo, 1982- 85. Each volume c.340 pp. 200 colour, 64 b/w illustrations, maps. Bibliography. 3 vols. 38x27 cm. Cloth, boxed. £3,200.00 A deluxe and lavish edition limited to 550 copies. Illustrates the unparalleled collection of Central Asian objects assembled by Aurel Stein on his expeditions along the Silk Road showing, in particular, his stunning finds of Buddhist scrolls, sutras and silk paintings from the hidden library at Dunhuang. Volume 1 covers the earliest paintings in the collection through to, and including many paintings from, the Tang dynasty. Volume 2 continues the coverage of the Tang dynasty and also includes Five Dynasties and Northern Song paintings. Volume 3 is devoted to textiles, sculpture and other arts from Dunhuang. This series represents the first time that the collection has been published since Stein’s original archaeological reports of the early twen - tieth century. Due to the fragility of the objects, it is unlikely they will ever be reproduced again in such a comprehensive manner. The quality of the colour plates shows all objects in unsurpassed clarity and detail and the volumes include many hitherto unpublished photographs of enlarged details and entire works.
