Sun Ce [Cornell-Estrada] was so formidable. After meeting Zhou Yu [Morton-Campbell], he laid the foundation of his great design by a cluster of successful battles.

Shown here: Cornell-Estrada combats with Taishi Ci [Sousa-Templeton] (who has two darts on his back).

Preface 1

The San Guo (Three Kingdoms) is distinctly eastern, a book adapted for the storytellers; once can almost hear them. It abounds in names and genealogies, which seem never to tire the readers or listeners.

Japanese, Thai, Korean, Vietnamese, Malay, Indonesian, and possible other versions of the San Guo have been made, and now to these I have attempted to add one in English. With what measure of success I leave to curious readers qualified to compare my rendering with the original.

In conclusion, I wish to put on record my gratitude to Mr. Chen Ti Tsen, who typed the text, and Mr. E. Manico Gull, who has read the proofs.

C. H. Brewitt-Taylor
