3 1921.03.23 Letter from Fu Zhongsun and Zhang Bangming to Bertrand Russell ; 23.3.1921.
They explained that they were translating "Introduction of mathematical philosophy", based on the second edition of 1920, and that they had both attended his first lecture on mathematical logic and planned to attend the remaining three. They also intended to publish their lecture notes as an appendix to the translation of the book. The main purpose of their letter was to ask Russell to clarify some questions they had while preparing their translation.
4 1922 [Russell, Bertrand]. Suan li zhe xue. Luosu zhu ; Fu Zhongsun, Zhang Bangming yi [ID D28283].
Fu and Zhang's translation of Introduction to mathematical philosophy was initially a success, but as time passed, the literary style they had used, which was very much influenced by the movement for the reform of writing, was regarded as awkward by the new generation. In addition, certain terminologies were not translated as accurately as they should have been.
