TO 
THOSE PERSONS 
WHOSE UNBENDING UPRIGHTNESS, 
PENETRATION, RETENTIVENESS, CAPACITY 
FOR HARD WORK, OVERFLOWING ABILITY, 
AND INSIDE KNOWLEDGE HAVE SO MUCH ENLARGED 
THE FUNDAMENTAL BASIS OF 
MY PHILOSOPHY 
I 
DEDICATE THIS BOOK IN MEMORY 
OF THE MANY HAPPY HOURS THAT WE 
HAVE SPENT TOGETHER IN THE 
SCENTED GARDEN

TO THE 
MEMORY OF MY COLLEAGUE

POLISHED SCHOLAR, GOOD SPORTSMAN, 
GALLANT SOLDIER, AND CIVIL GALLANT, 
I WHO HAVE DONE SO LITTLE TO COMPLETE 
HIS LABOURS DEDICATE MY SHARE THEREIN 
ON THIS OCCASION OF OFFERING THEIR RESULT TO THE WORLD.
