About the book >.>.> I have been indebted in the writing of this book primarily to my colleague Arthur Waley who has translated some valuable passages from Omura Seigai’s book on Chinese Sculpture for me from the Japanese text. I should like to record my thanks to all those collectors who have allowed me to reproduce objects in their possession and to the officials of the various museums from which I have drawn examples; I am especially indebted to my American colleagues for their help and assistance during my stay in that country. To the Mus?e Guimet I owe the photographs of the Mission Segalen here reproduced to Mr. Oscar Raphael those of the life of Buddha from Y?n-kang. Dr. Osvald Sir?n has allowed me to use two hitherto unpublished photographs of Han figures; Mr. J. Early Smith has lent me negatives of the Ming tombs. Miss Eleanor Chilton has very kindly read the proofs for me. (MP)
