This is a question about George Kennedy the Yale sinologist -- as I remember he invented his own
system for romanizing Chinese. This was supposed to work for multiple topolects. However, I have
forgotten any of the details and the books are out of print. Does anyone have any information
about this?

The texts should be one of the following, but I cannot remember which:
George A Kennedy. Interpretation of the Ch'un-Ch'iu. JAOS v62 #1 (1942) 40-48
George A Kennedy. ZH Guide: An Introduction to Sinology. Far Eastern 1953
George A Kennedy (ed Li). Selected Works of George A Kennedy. Far Eastern 1964

JOAS is a periodical (Journal of Asian Studies), and should be available for copying at any
library with a decent Chinese section. Go to your local (university) library, if they don't have
this issue of this periodical, they can request them for loan from another library. The same goes
for books, actually.

Good luck!
