Full title: Confucianism: Paper Read by the late Dr. E. Faber before the Parliament of Religions, Chicago, 1893. Footnote on first page, ''Of the original paper, as presented in Chicago, only a very abridged sketch has been published in the Records of Parliament (Vol. II, p. 1350). The paper itself was kept there by some appointed authorities. Dr. Faber applied afterward by letter for his paper, but it could not be found. Lately Dr. Faber's Mission in Tsingtau sent me a box with manuscripts left by Dr. Faber, and amongst them I found on some loose sheets the first draught of that Chicago paper. As it may interest many readers in the East I publish this original draught there, as far as I could bring these loose sheets together.--P. Kranz.''

Ernst Faber (1839-1899) was a German Sinologist, missionary, and Confucian scholar. He began his missionary work in 1864 in Canton and relocated to Shanghai in 1884.
