INTRODUCTION
(6) A very few collective cross-references, gathering up a number of consecutive subheads under one familiar title. E.g. 'Five Classics, the. See XXI, 59-264'.
I must gratefully acknowledge the valuable help I have received from my father, Professor Herbert A. Giles of Cambridge University, who, as the possessor of a copy of the above-mentioned small edition of the encyclopaedia, was able to correct or verify the translation of a number of difficult headings.
