NOTES [1] Herrlee G. Creel, _The Birth of China_, p. 141, London, 1936. [2] _Ibid._, pp. 142-154. [3] Marcel Granet, _Chinese Civilization_, p. 270, New York, 1930. Quoted by permission of the American publishers, Alfred A. Knopf, Inc. [4] Henri Maspero, _La Chine antique_, p. 131, Paris, 1927. This is one of the most valuable surveys of ancient China. [5] An elementary discussion of this period is to be found in Paul M. A. Linebarger, _The Political Doctrines of Sun Yat-sen_, pp. 25-29, "Nation and State in Chinese Antiquity," Baltimore, 1937.

[8] _Ibid._ [9] Thomas Taylor Meadows, _The Chinese and Their Rebellions_, p. 24, London, 1856. His accounts of the T'ai-p'ing rebellion even today possess great liveliness and interest and illuminate twentieth century Chinese problems. [10] _Ibid._, p. 25. [11] E. H. Parker, _China ..._, pp. 259-260, New York, 1917. [12] A. N. Holcombe, _The Chinese Revolution_, pp. 70-81, Cambridge, 1930. [13] See Luther Carrington Goodrich, _The Literary Inquisition of Ch'ien-lung_, Baltimore, 1935. [14] The most extensive source of information on Manchu military organization in China is T. F. Wade, "The Army of the Chinese Empire: Its Two Great Divisions, the Bannermen or National Guard, and the Green Standard or Provincial Troops; Their Organization, Pay, Condition &c.," _The Chinese Repository_ (Canton), vol. 20, pp. 250-280, 300-340, 363-422, 1851, which is now unfortunately rare. William James Hail, _Tseng Kuo-fan and the Taiping Rebellion_, New Haven, 1927, presents an accessible and informative digest of this and other material in its opening pages. Two French works based on Wade are Jules Picard, _État générale des forces maritimes et militaires de la Chine ..._, Paris, 1860, and P. Dabry, _Organisation militaire des Chinois, ou la Chine et ses armées_, Paris, 1859. William Frederick Mayers, _The Chinese Government_, Shanghai, 1897, is one of the most valuable references for the structure of the last imperial government of China; designed as a manual of titles, it presents a concise outline of all major civil and military offices. A more elaborate treatise is P. C. Hsieh, _The Chinese Government_, 1644-1911, Baltimore, 1925. See also Anatol M. Kotenev, _The Chinese Soldier_, Shanghai, 1937. The text refers to Wade, p. 391, and Hsieh, p. 260. [15] United States War Department, Adjutant-General's Office, no. 30, _Notes on China_, pp. 57-69, "The Chinese Army," Washington, 1900. Except for cursory references, this pamphlet is of no great value. [16] See above, pp. 32 ff. [17] See Hail, _op. cit._ in note 14. [18] See Meribeth E.
