[KS] Re: Charles Dallet and 1871 Incident

[Frank Hoffmann]

Yes, that is right. Dallet never visited Korea.

>  How about our bib. experts such as Ken Robinson and Frank?

But Jacqui, you must be joking, aren't you? Isn't this your job -- as 
head librarian of the Korean section of the Library of Congress?
The Library of Congress online catalog ( http://catalog.loc.gov/ ) 
lists quite a number of works by Charles Dallet, including 
translations into English -- actually, it maybe the same translation 
in two different editions -- not sure. I have the translation of his 
English INTRODUCTION to his _Histoire de l'Église de Corée_ (1874) 
now in front of me, but it has only a one page preface by the series 
editor (so this isn't of any help if you are trying to find 
biographical information about Dallet). Dallet's INTRODUCTION is 
about 200 pages long and an *essential* part of his work. Also, there 
is a full translation (in three volumes) into Korean, published in 
1979/80.

For all those who really seem to be lost if it comes to finding 
bibliographic references: all this has become soooooo easy these 
days. Why not making a quick keyword search in the Library of 
Congress online catalog, then one in Harvard's online "Union Catalog" 
(http://holliswebnew.harvard.edu/), and another in our _Harvard 
Korean Studies Bibliography_ (http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~korbib/) 
(not online). And for fine tuning and East Asian language works you 
can after that try the various other links I provide on my Library 
Gateway page (http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~hoffmann/6.html).
