	The Art of War - Annotated - PREFACE
		When Lionel Giles began his translation of Sun Tzu's ART OF WAR, the work was virtually unknown in Europe.
		Giles, in justifying his translation, wrote: "It was not undertaken out of any inflated estimate of my own powers; but I could not help feeling that Sun Tzu deserved a better fate than had befallen him, and I knew that, at any rate, I could hardly fail to improve on the work of my predecessors."
		Giles produced a work primarily intended for scholars of the Chinese civilization and language.

	About the Giles Pickford collection (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Giles describes his experience of the Siege in his diary, published as The siege of the Peking legations: a diary, ed.
		Especially noteworthy are the excellent and detailed photographic records of diplomatic and foreign student life in Beijing at the turn of the 19th/20th century as well as the siege of the Beijing Legations by the Boxer rebels and its aftermath.
		Giles modified Sir Thomas Wade's Chinese transliteration and the resultant Wade-Giles system became the standard for the discipline until recent times.

	Confucian Concepts and the Lionel Giles translation - The Gold Scales
		In essence he taught something like, "Cling to your own principles, but be willing to subordinate your personal desires for the good of a group." He became a center of enourmous influence, and his teaching served to make people commit to one another both in whole-hearted ways and through responsibilites.
		There is a certain number of Chinese terms which mirror Chinese ideas, that must be translated with the aid of circumlocution, and in such a way as to suit the context and the general spirit of the passage.
		Lionel Giles: Only he who has the spirit of goodness within him is really able either to love or to hate.

		Preface to the Project Gutenburg Etext When Lionel Giles began his translation of Sun Tzu's ART OF WAR, the work was virtually unknown in Europe.
		It was not a good translation because, according to Dr. Giles, "[I]t contains a great deal that Sun Tzu did not write, and very little indeed of what he did." The first translation into English was published in 1905 in Tokyo by Capt. E.
		While this translation is more lucid than Dr. Giles' translation, it lacks his copious notes that make his so interesting.

	The Art of War
		Lionel Giles' classic translation of the oldest military treatise in the world.
		Thus it is that in war the victorious strategist only seeks battle after the victory has been won, whereas he who is destined to defeat first fights and afterwards looks for victory.
		His copious notes and bibliography have been updated to make them more accessible to English speaking readers, and enhancing the insights to be drawn from this timeless classic.

	From the Book of Lieh-Tzu, a Classic Taoist Text - The Gold Scales
		Confucius himself is treated with much greater respect than in the Chuang Tzu, and this is taken by Giles as strong evidence in favour of the priority of Lieh Tzu, because "the breach between the two systems widened as time went on".
		Giles also writes that "His stories are almost invariably pithy and pointed.
		According to Lionel Giles, "the compilers of the great Catalogue of Ch'ien Lung's Library, who represent the cream of Chinese scholarship in the eighteenth century, assert he lived once."

	Circus-Maximus.com - VGA Planets - Sun Tzu
		The ch'i and the cheng are translated by Lionel Giles as the indirect and the direct - this has some merit, too, but I think that some indirect tactics are orthodox, in that they are well known and often employed, such as feints, flanking maneuvers and such.
		I think that orthodox and unorthodox imply a greater creativity than simply the direct and indirect, and fit the passage better - at times the unorthodox might be a direct action, but when unexpected this is a powerful tool.
		Lionel Giles traslates the words stubstance and vacuity as the science of the strong and the weak - a very direct sort of interpretation, though quite useful.

		It is much more readable than the Giles translation, but it is formatted as a double column with the translation of the Sun Tzu text on the right and Huang's interpretations on the left, and my knowledge of HTML is not up to the job.

		The Giles translation is the easiest to post as it is in the public domain and there are online Gutenberg copies available.

		Background: most of the early photographs (especially those relating to the Legations in Beijing at the turn of the 19th/20th centuries and the Boxer Uprising) are apparently the handiwork of Lancelot Giles (grandfather of the donor of the collection) who was appointed Student Interpreter in the British Consular Service (Beijing) on 19 July 1899.

		Giles, while formulating good English, makes Lieh Tzu a monotheist teaching immortality, heaven: in short, a Christian.
		Maybe it still is (the only earlier one I have even heard of is an ancient thing by Giles).
		No one doubts the quality of Graham's scholarship, but I have to admit that this translation didn't really get me into the LT, which for years (using Graham) I thought of as a kind of mediocre imitation of the Chuang Tzu.

		It seems to me, however, that the conception of Tao must have been reached, originally, through this channel.
		Lao Tzu, interpreting the plain facts of Nature before his eyes, concludes that behind her manifold workings there exists an ultimate Reality which in its essence is unfathomable and unknowable, yet manifests itself in laws of unfailing regularity." (From Lionel Giles, "Book of Lieh-tau, 1912).
		The inexorable law of cause and effect seems to him equally removed from active goodness or benevolence on the one hand, and from active, or malevolence on the other." (From Lionel Giles: "Taoist Teachings", translated from the Book of Lieh-Tzu, 1912).
