MARSHMAN, Joshua (1768-1837)
The Works of Confucius […] To Which is Prefixed A Dissertation on the Chinese Language and Character. Serampore: Printed at the Mission Press, 1809.
First English translation of the Lunyu [Analects] of Confucius. Covering only the first ten books of the Lunyu, this work ‘was described as the first of a five-volume set, although it was the only one in the projected series ever to be published. As far as is known this is only the second published direct translation of a Chinese text into English' (Kitson). Complete with the rare Dissertation on the Chinese Language and Character, here bound in a separate volume. Lust Western Books on China, 738.
2 volumes, quarto (290 x 220mm and 270 x 210mm). 2 folding tables of Chinese characters, 4 further tables on 2 folding leaves (some repaired tears along folds of 2 folding leaves, marginal dampstaining in first few quires). Modern navy half morocco over marbled boards, Confucius volume uncut and partially unopened.
