Reprint of 1946 London 1stedn; 8vo peagreen cloth, red gilt spine titles, a little darkening to spine ow unread VG/ndj as issued: 264pp; frontis, b&w illustrations, index. The Library of World Affairs, Number 2.  Contents: Introduction, General Survey, Religion, Philosophy, Family, Marriage, Friendship, Literature, Fragments from the 'Three Kingdoms', Art./ FOREWORD: IT is no small measure of consolation to be able to feel that one's time is not idly spent, when others are ' doing their bit* in a tor mented world. It is with this feeling that I look back on my few years' quiet existence in Geneva during the Second World War; for, profiting by an existence without the usual daily routine, I have been able to put in a concrete shape a few reflections that have cropped up during a long period of years. My sojourn in the West has covered a good part of my life, and I always cherish a happy memory of it both in things I have learned and in persons I have met. For years I have deemed it an agreeable duty to try in my small way to introduce into my country what I have learned abroad, and thus to contribute, as best I can, directly and indirectly to a better under standing between the East and the West. But understanding requires mutuality, and so I feel it also my duty to try to bring in return to the West some of the ideas and ideals that my country and my countrymen have treasured for centuries. In this attempt I need hardly say that I express my views and thoughts simply as a private individual, wholly independent of any public capacity that I may possess or have possessed. One thing, however, I may say. While the treasures of a country, in the form of works of art like those which a few years ago I had the honour, as Special Commissioner of my Government, to bring over for exhibition in London, and which have attracted world-wide attention, can be seen by the eye, those, in the form of wisdom of the sages like those which will be unfolded in this book, such as what is said about ' noiseless music, formless manners, and badgeless mourning', appeal rather to the soul. …

First edition, presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "Presented to the Prime Minister, The Rt. Hon. C. R. Attlee. With the highest esteem and best compliments of the author. F. T. Cheng. Sept. 24th 1946." From 1946 to 1950, the author served as the last ambassador of the Republic of China to Britain. A former member of the Permanent Court of International Justice in The Hague, Cheng Tien-Hsi (also known as F. T. Cheng) was sent to Britain by Chiang Kai-Shek to secure London's backing in the Chinese civil war. This philosophical study endeavoured "to give a glimpse of the soul of my country" (p. 22) and cultivate broader public interest in China's future. After Chiang's defeat on the mainland, Attlee's was one of the first Western governments to recognize the People's Republic of China, and Attlee led a Labour Party delegation to Beijing in 1954. His bookplate faces the inscription. Octavo. Frontispiece, 7 plates, map in text, calligraphic facsimile. Blue cloth, spine lettered in silver, boards blocked in blind.
