The Poetry of the Chinese, by Sir John Davis. London, 1870.
(An interesting essay on Chinese poetry, together with
several examples rendered into English verse. Owing, however,
to the researches of later sinologues, many of his conclusions,
especially as regards pronunciation, are out of date.)
La Poe/sie Chinoise, by C. de Harlez. Bruxelles, 1892.
(The best treatise on Chinese poetry that has yet appeared.
The passage dealing with Chinese style is especially illuminating.
The whole essay is deserving of a wider circulation.)
Notes on Chinese Literature, by A. Wylie. London, 1867.
(Contains a vast deal of interesting information on the subject
of Chinese literature, and notices of all the important collections
of Chinese verse that have been made from the earliest times.)
