He twice repeated his journeys, and the results were published in his Encyclopaedias, which are among the most remarkable works of their kind, distinguished for the immense mass of useful matter which they contain, collected by an amount of industry and labour which has rarely been equalled. The career of Samuel Drew is not less remarkable than any of those which we have cited.

In addition to encyclopaedias and historical works, many books of philosophy were written in the Han period, but most of them offer no fundamentally new ideas. They were the product of the leisure of rich members of the gentry, and only three of them are of importance. One is the work of Tung Chung-shu, already mentioned.
