8vo, cloth in dj, third impression of the 1937 ed. ; octavo; 358 pp (including index); a collection of ancient Chinese songs dating from 800 to 600 B.C. One of the five Confucian classics, The Book of Songs (Shijing) is the oldest collection of poetry in world literature and the finest treasure of traditional songs left from antiquity. Where the other Confucian classics treat outward things: deeds, moral precepts, the way the world works,” as Stephen Owen tells us in his foreword, The Book of Songs is the classic of the human heart and the human mind.”

Contents: 1. Historical. 2. Doctrinal. 3. Monastic. 4. Buildings. 5. Mythology and Gods. 6. Ritual and sorcery. 7. Festivals and plays. 8. Popular Lamaism. Appendices. Index. "The special characteristics of the book are its detailed accounts of the external facts and curious symbolisms of Buddhism, and its analyses of the internal movements leading to Lamaism and its sects and cults. It provides material culled from hoary Tibetan tradition and explained by Lamas for elucidating many obscure parts in primitive Indian Buddhism and its later symbolism. Thus a clue is supplied to several dispute doctrinal points of fundamental importance, as for example the formula of the casual nexus. "With this view the nabulous Tibetan "history" so called of the earlier periods has been somewhat critically examined in the light afforded by some scholarly Lamas and contemporary history and all fictitious chronicles, hitherto treated usually as historical and rejected as authoritative for events which happened a thousand years before they were written and for a time when writing was admittedly unknown in Tibet." 598 pp

Madrid, Imprenta de la Viuda de Manuel Fernandez, 1755. 4to.; 2 hs., 464 pp. Encuadernación en pergamino, de la época. Contiene relaciones sobre India, Filipinas, China (con un extenso informe sobre el Ginseng), México, Misiones del Paraguay, de Chiquitos y de Moxos, además de las extensas e impresionantes "Cartas" del Padre Gabriel Marest sobre su Misión y Viajes en el Canadá, en las Kaskaskias y entre los Illinois en el Mississippi.

Madrid, Imprenta de la Viuda de Manuel Fernandez, 1755. 4to.; 2 hs., XVI pp., 398 pp. y un mapa plegado, grabado en cobre, que muestra las misiones jesuitas en la India. Encuadernación en pergamino, de la época. Parte destacada del presente volúmen esta formada por las "Cartas" del Padre Sebastian Rasle (1658-1724) en las Misiones del Canadá, entre los Indios Abenakis, en Norridgewock, en el Rio Kennebec, en tiempo de las luchas contra los ingleses de New England, a manos de los cuales murió finalmente tras haber sido puesta a precio su cabeza. Su prestigio y fama entre los Abenakis fue imperecedero, su conocimiento de su lengua y costumbres impresionante, como lo prueba el manuscrito de su "Diccionario de la Lengua Abenaki", milagrosamente conservado hasta hoy en la Biblioteca del Harvard College y publicado en 1835. Otra interesante relación es la que contiene el viaje y estancia en el Tibet entre 1716 y 1721 del Padre Ippolito Desideri. No menor es el interés del Informe de la Visita de Fray José Peralta, Obispo de Buenos Aires, a las Misiones jesuítas del Paraguay en 1743.
