38. See my "Catalogue of Chinese Books" (Luzac & Co., 1908), no. 40.
39. This is a discussion
of 29 difficult passages in Sun Tzu. 40. Cf. Catalogue of the library
of Fan family at Ningpo: "His commentary is frequently obscure; it
furnishes a clue, but does not fully develop the meaning." 41. WEN
HSIEN T`UNG K`AO, ch. 221. 42. It is interesting to note that M.
Pelliot has recently discovered chapters 1, 4 and 5 of this lost work
in the "Grottos of the Thousand Buddhas." See B.E.F.E.O., t.
VIII, nos. 3-4, p. 525. 43. The Hsia, the Shang and the Chou. Although
the last-named was nominally existent in Sun Tzu's day, it retained

have yet had
an opportunity of acquainting themselves with Sun
Tzu are not behindhand in their praise. In this connection, I may
perhaps be excused for quoting from a letter from Lord Roberts, to
whom the sheets of the present work were submitted previous to
publication: "Many of
Sun Wu's maxims are perfectly applicable to the present day, and no.
11 [in Chapter VIII] is one that the people of
this country would do well to take to heart." 54. Ch. 140. 55. See IV.
ss. 3. 56. The allusion may be to Mencius VI. 2. ix. 2. 57. The
TSO CHUAN. 58.
