Historians believe he lived sometime between the sixth and fourth centuries BCE. JAMES LEGGE (1815-1897) was a Scottish linguist, missionary, sinologist, and translator. Legge represented the London Missionary Society in Malacca and Hong Kong (1840-1873) and was the first Professor of Chinese at Oxford University (1876-1897).
