Following the academic agreement concluded last year by our institute, Institute for Advanced Humanistic Studies at Fudan University and East Asian Program at Princeton University, the East Asian Studies Department of Princeton University generously sent us more than forty books published recently by the staffs of the department. Three huge volumes on the history of Science in China by Professor Benjamin Elman, chair of the department, are among them. We will conserve these precious books in our library and put them to public use as soon as possible.
