The Chinese Language | Lecture 1 | China and the Chinese | Herbert Allen Giles

This is a audio recording/book of China and the Chinese, Preface - Lecture 1 - The Chinese Language by Herbert Allen Giles. From 1902.

Herbert Allen Giles (1845-1935) spent several years as a diplomat in China and in 1897 was appointed Cambridge University’s second professor of Chinese. His published works cover Chinese language and literature, history and philosophy.

This series of lectures, published as “China and the Chinese”, was given at Columbia University in 1902, to mark the establishment of a Chinese professorship there. The lectures were not intended for the specialist, more to urge a wider and more systematic study of China and its culture, and to encourage new students into the field.
