Herbert Giles

Herbert Allen Giles (, 8 December 184513 February 1935) was a British diplomat and sinologist who was the professor of Chinese at the University of Cambridge for 35 years. Giles was educated at Charterhouse School before becoming a British diplomat in China. He modified a Mandarin Chinese romanization system established by Thomas Wade, resulting in the widely known Wade–Giles Chinese romanization system. Among his many works were translations of the ''Analects of Confucius'', the ''Lao Tzu (Tao Te Ching)'', the ''Chuang Tzu'', and, in 1892, the widely published ''A Chinese–English Dictionary''.
