“ In 1875 several gentlemen connected with the China trade suggested to the university of Oxford a Chair of Chinese Language and Literature to be occupied by Dr Legge. The university responded liberally, Corpus Christi College contributed the emoluments of a fellowship, and the chair was constituted in 1876. In addition to his other work Legge wrote The Life and Teaching of Confucius (1867) ; The Life and Teaching of Mencius (1875) ; The Religions of China (1880) ; and other books on Chinese literature and religion. He died at Oxford on the 29th of November 1897. ”
