Descripción
First Edition, xi,[i],392pp., orig. cloth, a fine copy. This major subject bibliography describes 3,500 books on all aspects on Chinese life. It is an excellent reference for collectors, easy to use, and provides a broad exposure to books in any given subject. The collection is based on the collection of Thomas Hunt, a merchant who gained his fortune in China during the middle of the 19th century. A lifelong collector, Hunt gave his collection to the Essex Institute, where it is currently housed. The Library contains about 4000 volumes. It was with the purpose of increasing the library's usefulness to scholars that the current catalog was compiled. Subjects are Chinese in America, Jews in China, Buddhism, folklore, secret societies, and dozens of others.
