A new introduction to classical Chinese
This is a reissue of 'A New Introduction to Classical Chine' which replaced the author's 'An Introduction to Classical Chinese' published in 1968. The notes were entirely revised and the amount of text nearly doubled. The book now goes beyond the fourth century to include material from the great Han Dynasty historian Ssu-ma Ch'ien.
