FOREWORD
Through the kind assistance given by the Text Book
Committee of UNESCO the publication of this Second
Volume of The Works of Han Fei Tzŭ has been made
possible twenty years after the publication of the First
Volume. It is an encouraging sign of the demand for the
work that the First Volume has just been exhausted and
a re-issue, also with the aid of UNESCO, has been necessitated.
Unfortunately it was not given to the translator,
Wen-Kuei Liao, to live to see the Second Volume of his
work in print, nor has the Introductory Volume, planned by
him, ever been issued.
The publisher's thanks are due to Milton Rosenthal for
his help in negotiating the grant from UNESCO, and to
Dr. Neville Whymant for reading the proofs, compiling the
Index and suggesting minor alterations in the text.
Arthur Probsthain.

October, 1959.
