ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

For carefully recording and helpfully shaping Dr. Kiang's dictation of the literal texts of one of the two Chinese volumes comprising this work—the volume containing the longer poems—I am indebted to a well-chosen pupil and friend of his and mine, Mr. Will Garrett. For pertinent and wise suggestions I am grateful to Mr. Arthur Davison Ficke, Mr. Porter Garnett, Mr. Haniel Long, Mrs. Julia Ellsworth Ford, Mr. Cliff McCarthy, Dr. Hu Suh, Mr. Nieh Shih-chang, and Princess Der Ling.

Two hundred and seventy-eight of the poems have been printed in the following magazines and journals:
