Notes:

"August 1939"

"The Confucian classics are customarily divided into the Five ching and the Four shu. The first of the Four shu (or books) is the Ta hio, a work of which the first chapter is ascribed to Confucius, and the remainder to one of his disciples, Thseng-tseu (Tsang Tzu)."--Note.

196 sheets of the English edition "were imported by New Directions and issued in New York in November 1938, with a cancel title-leaf and excised half-title (series) leaf, as No. 4 in the 'New Directions Pamphlet Series' ... A new edition (1000 copies) issued by New Directions in New York in August 1939, although announced to contain new notes and revisions by Ezra Pound, is merely a reprint."--Cf. Gallup.
