Item description from seller

First edition. The author (1839-1899) "held that there were points of similarity between Confucianism and Christianity that must be acknowledged and admired. Among these points of agreement were the Golden Rule, the importance of prayer, moral duty, virtuous government, and the existence of a spiritual world" (Biographical Dictionary of Chinese Christianity). A German Protestant, Faber was a member of the Rhenish Missionary Society and began serving in China in 1864. This work translates a lecture given to a conference of Rhenish missionaries in Hong Kong on 24 July 1872. Speaking on the Confucian virtue of self-cultivation, he stresses Confucius's teachings on cautious speech, virtuous action, and humanity. Cordier 1398; not in Löwendahl. Octavo (240 x 160 mm. Chinese characters in text. Recent brown half leatherette, spine lettered in gilt, brown sides. The odd red ink annotation in text. A little offsetting from binding, small pinholes to title page and first few leaves, touching couple of letters: very good.
