[Babbitt, Irving]. [Luosu yu lang man zhu yi]. Liang Shiqiu yi. [ID D28849].
In his preface Liang wrote : "When thirty years ago, as a student of Mr. Babbitt, the translator read this book, he could only form a general idea of it and could not understand it fully. Today, after translating this section of the book, I admire his extensive knowledge and profound scholarhip even more. The original is trenchant and well documented. It is a pity that the translator is not sufficiently capable to convey all this."
