This article presents information regarding the book "The Chinese: Their Education, Philosophy, and Letters," by W.A.P. Martin. This volume is appropriately dedicated to Professor William D. Whitney, and in a prefatory note its author informs him that most of the essays have been already published in China under the title of "Hanlin Papers," and are now offered to the public only as a bundle of "Beitriige," a small contribution towards the better understanding of China and the Chinese. Out of the seventeen papers four are likely to attract the most attention in the U.S., though all will be valuable to students in China itself. These are "Competitive Examinations in China," "The Ethical Philosophy of the Chinese," "The Renaissance in China," and "The Worship of Ancestors in China."
