Excerpt from The Jade Chaplet: In Twenty-Four Beads, a Collection of Songs, Ballads, &C Most of the songs in this collection have already appeared in print, but I am tempted to publish them in this form from the fact that the subjects must be new and strange to most people in England, and many of them, I feel confident, are novel even to foreigners in China. Many songs that I have translated are not even in Chinese print but I have been attracted by hearing them sung in the streets, made the Singers come to my house and Sing them while my teacher wrote them down verbatim; this process being repeated till I was assured that they were correct. By this means I not only got the words of the song, but the air, and I fancied I could also grasp the ideas they conveyed.
