an eminent Chinese philosopher, who flourished about 400 B.C., says Dr. Legge "was an original thinker, and exercised a bolder judgment on things than Confucius. or any of his followers He taught that all the evils in society arise from the want of mutual universal love. For example, a prince loves only his own state, and does not love the neigh boring state. Therefore he makes war against it."
