Excerpt from Journal of the North-China Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society, 1920, Vol. 51 The Editor Of the Journal, Rev. Evan Morgan, speaking of the forthcoming Journal which is Vol. LI, took the Opportunity to refer interestingly to preceding volumes issued by the Society. He. Said: In issuing the. 51st volume of the Society's proceedings it is fitting to pay some sort of tribute to the preceding: 50 volumes, which have steadily and unfailingly appeared, showing a continuity of aim through continuous change Of minds and hands. A wealth Of material has been produced and recorded during these years, and it would be well for students and general readers to look through these past volumes not only as a stimulus to our present effort, but also as a tribute to the memory Of past workers of this Society. Further it would be a most interesting occupation to review the past volumes at length and refresh our minds with the wide range of the Society's studies and the varied nature. Of the articles. Time will only permit of a brief mention of the first and fiftieth volumes. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
