ADDITIONAL NOTE.
As my readers will have seen from the Preface, I originally
proposed to make a selection of Wang Ch`ung's Essays, and to translate
only 44, i. e. the philosophical ones, being in my opinion the more
important. Some of the leading sinologues having pointed out to me
the desirability of having a complete version of Wang Ch`ung's work,
I now have changed my mind, and am going to translate the essays
left out likewise. They will, later on, be published as "Lun-Hêng,
577
volume, which I now call "Lun-Hêng, Part I, Philosophical Essays
of Wang Ch ung." The whole work will also appear, later on, in
the "Mitteilungen des Seminars für Orientalische Sprachen," probably in
5 parts. The first was already published last year, under the title
"Selected Essays of the Philosopher Wang Ch`ung." I am very much
indebted to Geheimrat Sachau, Director of the Seminar für Orientalische
Sprachen, for kindly having undertaken the publishing of
this voluminous work.
Berlin, April 1907.
