LEGGE, JAMES (1815-1897)

This article appears in Volume V16, Page 377 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: LAP-LEO
LEGGE, JAMES (1815-1897) , British Chinese scholar, was born at
Huntly
 , Aberdeenshire, in 1815, and educated at King's College, Aberdeen. After studying at the Highbury Theological College, London, he went in 1839 as a missionary to the Chinese, but, as
China
  was not yet open to Europeans, he remained at Malacca three years, in charge of the Anglo-Chinese College there. The College was subsequently moved to Hong-
Kong
 , where
Legge
  lived for thirty years. Impressed'with the necessity of missionaries being able to comprehend the ideas and culture of the Chinese, he began in 1841 a
translation
  in many volumes of the Chinese classics, a monumental task admirably executed and completed a few years before his death. In 187o he was made an LL.D. of Aberdeen and in 1884 of Edinburgh University. 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 (188o); and other books on Chinese literature and religion. He died at
Oxford
  on the 29th of November 1897.
