AN INTRODUCTION TO THE I YÜ T'U CHIH OR "PICTURES AND DESCRIPTIONS OF STRANGE NATIONS" IN THE WADE COLLECTION AT CAMBRIDGE BY A. C. MOULE. This book, which claims attention both for the merit and interest of the illustrations and because it appears to be the only copy known to ex.ist, has hitherto been known chicny through brief notices of it by Professor Giles in his and else- where. It is one of the treasures of the Wade Collection which was itself until rather recently the best collection of Chinese books in Europe, and bears traces of the value which Sir Thomas Wade set upon it, although it seems that in his old age he left it with several other books which he had not had time or energy to place upon the shelves. Thanks to the interest of the late Mr Charles Sayle it has for the last few years been placed in a box and so is protected from dust and wear. In writing the following notes I have been very much helped by Professor Paul Pelliot. The book measures 31 cm. by 1J cm., exclusive of the binding and mounting which are in European style.
