Text in French and Chinese. A few scattered pencil markings throughout. Previous owner name on front paper cover for Vol. 1--John S. Service. John Stewart Service (1909-1999) was an American diplomat who served in the Foreign Service in China prior to and during the World War II. Considered one of the State Department's "China Hands," he was an important member of the Dixie Mission to Yan'an. Service correctly predicted that the Communists would defeat the Nationalists in a civil war, but he and other diplomats were blamed for the "loss" of China in the domestic political turmoil following the 1949 Communist triumph in China. In the immediate postwar years, Service was accused in the Amerasia Affair in 1945, of which a Grand Jury cleared him of wrongdoing. Varietes sinologiques Nos 8 and 13.
