Legge romanization is a transcription system for Mandarin Chinese, used by the prolific 19th-century sinologist James Legge. It was replaced by the Wade–Giles system, which itself has been largely supplanted by Hanyu Pinyin. The Legge system is still to be found in Legge's widely available translation of the I Ching, and in some derivative works such as Aleister Crowley's version of the I Ching. The transcription was initially devised by Max Müller for the publication of the multi-volume Sacred Books of the East.[1]
