this text. In each case, the line with the letters is the same as in the text,

these transliterations.]
[This etext has been transcribed from a New York edition of 1909.
Please note that not only is the system of transliteration out of date
(though perhaps still easier to use than the current standard), but other
things may be out of date as well. The study of Chinese literature has
come a long way from the time when Mr. Cranmer-Byng had to include
books in four languages e up with a short bibliography. Still, this
book may serve well as an introduction to the subject.]
