Editorial Notes

We wish to thank Mr. Heng-sheng Wu for allowing us to use the electronic file from the Chinese Culture Website he maintains. Without his help, our web version would not have been possible.

Image preparation and further checking of the text file were done by Stephen Ramsay of the Electronic Text Center. The Chinese Text on this site was input by Yizhi Pu.

Text presented on these pages is based on a four-volume set from the Ma Kiam Collection at the University of Virginia's Alderman Library. Chinese characters for which our software offered no precise equivalent are bracketed in our text. There are also a few blank spaces and unclear characters in the printed text, which have been silently emended in the electronic version. We have included certain accidentals (punctuation, etc.) to make the text easier to read. Please be aware that such accidentals may be placed differently in other sources.
