First edition in English of the classic ancient divination text, and one of the oldest books of the Chinese classics. xiii (vii -xiii of which are plates),[i],xvii,455, [i] (errata). Bound in mid-century three-quarter sienna morocco over marbled paper, top edges gilt. Near Fine with slight loss to marbles paper at top right corner of upper board, small loss to gilt and indent to rear pages at top of textblock near the gutter. Light toning and sporadic foxing to pages. "Shanghai, Nov. 1876" in light pencil to front fly, and owner's name in gilt to foot of spine.

An ancient text with origins thought to range between the 10th and 4th centuries BC for the assembly in its current form. A type of divination using six random numbers arranged in hexagonal shapes which can then be looked up in the text. Studied and endlessly interpreted over the centuries, many have used the book symbolically, seeking guidance for decision making as informed by Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism.
