Text is in English and Chinese. Originally written as a master's thesis by American military man Samuel Victor Constant (1894-1989), who was stationed in China. First published in the 1930s, and then in a limited edition hardback with woodcuts in 1993. This paperback copy uses "the original pictures and relevant materials and then repainted in line drawing," according to the editor's note. Nice, and perhaps difficult to find.
