來源 (Provenance)：

本書（/本系列）原為美國著名東亞發展經濟學家、喬治華盛頓大學（GWU）教授艾伯特·蓋德爾博士（Dr. Albert Keidel）之個人珍藏。書內保留有完整的流傳紀錄：蓋德爾博士於昭和60年（1985年）親自到訪日本東京神田神保町歷史悠久的漢學古籍權威——一誠堂書店購入此書。當時，他正以哈佛大學博士的學者身份在東京大學經濟學部進行博士後研究。此後，這批藏書隨其治學足跡穿梭於東京、華盛頓、北京與各大國際智庫，見證了二十世紀末西方漢學與東亞經濟史學界的交流軌跡。

Provenance:

From the private collection of Dr. Albert Keidel, a prominent American development economist specializing in East Asia and a professor at George Washington University (GWU). The history of this volume (/series) is meticulously documented: it was acquired by Dr. Keidel in 1985 (Showa 60) during a personal visit to Isseido Booksellers (一誠堂書店), the historic and venerable authority on Sinology and rare antiquarian books located in Kanda Jinbocho, Tokyo. At the time of purchase, Dr. Keidel—having earned his Ph.D. from Harvard University—was conducting post-doctoral research at the Faculty of Economics, the University of Tokyo. This collection subsequently followed his academic and professional itinerary, traveling across Tokyo, Washington, D.C., Beijing, and various international think tanks, serving as a tangible testament to the cross-cultural exchange between Western Sinology and East Asian economic history in the late 20th century.
