《国闻报》所刊《本馆附印说部缘起》一文,流行的意见通常根据梁启超的说法,视之为严复、夏曾佑合撰;而另有学者则认为夏曾佑是其唯一作者。实际上,根据作者的身世游踪、文章风格、主要观点以及1920年代末钱玄同所整理的夏曾佑遗文目录等方面资料判断,该文的作者应为夏曾佑,严复可能为夏曾佑提供了一些素材,但并非该文作者之一。 According to Liang Qi-chao’s comment, the popular opinion of “National Newspaper” published in the article entitled “The Appeal of the Main Library Appears to Department” is regarded as Yan Fu and Xia Zeng-you, while others consider Xia Zeng-you the sole author. In fact, according to the author’s biography, the style of the article, the main point of view, and the catalog of Xia ZengYou preserved by QIAN XuanTong in the late 1920s, etc., the author of this article should be Xia ZengYou and Yan Fu may provide some material for Xia ZengYou , But not one of the authors.
