중국과중국인언어.China and the Chinese, by Herbert Allen Giles
PREFACE
The following Lectures were delivered during March, 1902, at Columbia
University, in the city of New York, to inaugurate the foundation by General
Horace W. Carpentier of the Dean Lung Chair of Chinese.
By the express desire of the authorities of Columbia University these Lectures
are now printed, and they may serve to record an important and interesting
departure in Oriental studies.
It is not pretended that Chinese scholarship will be in any way advanced by
this publication. The Lectures, slight in themselves, were never meant for
advanced students, but rather to draw attention to, and possibly arouse some
interest in, a subject which will occupy a larger space in the future than in the
present or in the past.
