Bowdlerlized version of Chin P'ing Mei: "interspersed through its pages, there are many lewd sections that make it unfit for the general reader ... the scholars of the new Republic saw that the story could be improved by the excision of the lewd parts, which were not in any way essential." No lewdness here, but some lovely illustrations.
