The only annotated translation. The style is simple and direct, and the notes accurate, for the most part, and informative. The uninitiated reader must make allowances for Father d'Elia's religious viewpoints. This is probably the most useful translation.

V. Commentaries on the Principles of Sun Yat-sen.

Li Ti tsun; _The Politico-Economic Theories of Sun Yat-sen_.

This work has not been published, but portions of it appeared in the _Chinese Students' Monthly_, XXIV, New York, 1928-1929, as follows: "The Life of Sun Yat-sen," no. 1, p. 14, November, 1928; "The Theoretical System of Dr. Sun Yat-sen," no. 2, p. 92, December 1928, and no. 3, p.

130, January 1929; and "The Sunyatsenian Principle of Livelihood," no. 5, p. 219, March 1929. It is most regrettable that the whole work could not be published as a unit, for Li's work is extensive in scope and uses the major Chinese and foreign sources quite skilfully.
