Book excerpt: "Chinese Moral Sentiments Before Confucius: A Study in the Origin of Ethical Valuations," by Herbert Finley Rudd. This interesting and scholarly work in practically a new field, was published in Shanghai under the auspices of the University of Chicago but has now been taken over by 'Orientalia' and offered for sale in this country for the first time. In order to appreciate the present ethical standards of the Chinese people, the author's investigations are largely centered in the earliest period of their civilization, whence he painstakingly traces their social and moral development into the Confucian epoch. A work of real importance. -Asia and the Americas, Vol. 2
