Dr. James Legge, Scottish scholar (1815-97)Legge was professor of Chinese at Oxford University (1876-1897). He translated The Analects of Confucius, the Sayings of Mencius, The Tao Teh King and other works into English. The Chuang Tzu was one of the hardest Chinese Taoism works to translate, writes Legge.Legge was aided by the pioneering Chinese Wang T'ao (1828-97?) in the monumental translation of the Five Classics of Confucianism. Wang also spent two years with Legge in Europe. Legge said, "I will translate faithfully the works of the best and oldest Chinese authors for the benefit of missionaries and students of all professions."
