Item description from seller

8vo, pp. xxiii, [1], 246; text in English and Chinese; original blue cloth stamped in gilt on upper cover and spine; preserving the original printed dust jacket, toned at the spine and with extremities ever-so-slightly chipped; a near fine, sound, and clean copy. First printed in 1918. This is the "second impression after the January 29th (1932) tragedy" (i.e., the bombing, massacre, and fire at the hands of the Japanese, which destroyed the Commercial Press). Includes poems by Li Po, Tu Fu, Wang Wei, Liu Yu-hsi, and nearly 60 others.
