Excerpt from Description of Chinese Pottery and Porcelain: Being a Translation of the Tao Shuo; With Introduction, Notes, and Bibliography These works indicate the general bent of his mind to be that of a scholar and antiquary, and he often breaks off into a disquisition into the origin of a piece of pottery, or the derivation of a new name, in a way which may prove wearisome to one who is not interested in Chinese philology. Some of the names, like that of the alms bowl (patra), and the water-jar (bandied), of the Buddhist mendicant, he even traces back to the original Sanscrit. His conclusions seem to be generally correct, if it be not presumptuous in me to offer an opinion on such a recondite subject; and he does not indulge us, more Sinico, with too many of his poems, although he finishes with a verse of his own, to cap some others written in honour of Hao Shih-chiu, the celebrated potter of the end of the Ming Dynasty.

This inaugural volume transcends its archival value. Indeed, taken as a whole, the essays pose a provocation for both translation practice and theory. The criteria proposed and the issues examined remain the same. Absolute excellence, however, continues to move beyond the horizon, and changes in technology and taste inevitably change both the implementation of the criteria and the evaluation of the issues. The attendant ambiguities may stem from a parenthesis in the volume: does excellence lie in the "X-factor that elusive quality which renders one translation clearly superior to others"?

Excerpt from Description of Chinese Pottery and Porcelain: Being a Translation of the Tao Shuo; With Introduction, Notes, and Bibliography The translation of the Tao Shuo, now for the first time published in its entirety, was completed by Dr. Bushell in 1891, and has been printed with little alteration from the MS. as he then left it. Of the twenty-one figures with which he contemplated illustrating the work, eighteen were to be taken (see pp. xi, xvii) from the sixteenth-century Manuscript Catalogue of porcelain by Hsiang Yuan-P'ien. This work was published by Dr. Bushell in 1908 (Chinese Porcelain of Different Dynasties: eighty-three plates in colour by W. Griggs; with the Chinese text reproduced by line-blocks, and an introduction, translation, and commentary: Clarendon Press). It may be mentioned that a set of Chinese illustrations of the manufacture of porcelain similar in style to those described on pp. 7-30 is reproduced in Stanislas Julien's Histoire et Fabrication de la Porcelaine Chinoise, Paris, 1856. They are only fourteen in number instead of the twenty described in the text of T'ao Shuo; those wanting being Nos. 3, 8, 12 (which bears the same title as 7), 14, 19 and 20. Two of the remaining three have been reproduced in Cosmo Monkhouse's History and Description of Chinese Porcelain, 1901, and in Dr. Bushell's South Kensington Museum Handbook, Chinese Art, 1906. The Lettres du Pere d'Entrecolles mentioned on p. ix have been added in an Appendix. The text has been printed, practically without alteration, from a copy of the Lettres Édifiantes in the British Museum.
