倭仁 楷書節錄〈明儒學案〉

款識：
方正學先生云：非義之利腊毒，可喜之事藏悔，易悅之人難近，萬全之舉多怨。君子知其然，功茍可成不沮於怨也。人果不可近，不受其悅也。事之適意，必思其艱。利之可取，先慮其患，故名立而身完也。又云：尚鬼之國多病，好利之人多貧，禍不可避也，利不可求也，故君子守義而安命為。
秋谷世九兄雅正。倭仁。

鈐印：「倭仁」、「艮齋」。

「五十萬卷樓」收藏名家書畫（編號272-288）

近世廣東藏書之富，當首推東莞莫伯驥「五十萬卷樓」。莫伯驥（1878-1958），字天一，少年學醫，畢業後於廣州設「仁壽西藥房」。莫氏一家以田力讀書為彝訓，陳編世守，嬋嫣不絕。莫伯驥父啟智精研宋學，所藏宋元名臣大儒遺書森森連屋；伯驥少年時因生計，棄儒從商而致富，獨甘飯蔬食，痴迷古書，練積三四十年如一日，終以五十萬卷藏書「上企瞿楊，無慚丁陸」，惜其藏書大多散失於抗戰亂世動盪歲月，著作五十餘種亦毀於戰火，惟存出版〈五十萬卷樓藏書目錄初編〉及〈五十萬卷樓群書跋文〉兩種。

本輯所集莫氏收藏書畫十七件，或為藝壇時賢贈予者，若黃賓虹為莫氏父子四十年代中後期所作系列畫作之一〈庸言書屋圖〉、盧子樞為伯驥子培樾所寫山水冊頁；或為出於地緣關係所集嶺南一地書畫，若宋光寶、二居、葉衍蘭等清中晚期活躍於當地之畫家；亦有伊秉綬、趙之謙、任伯年近代藝壇翹楚，令人得以窺見莫氏收藏趣味境界。

註：倭仁，字艮峰，蒙古正紅旗人。道光九年（1829）進士，同治帝師，累官至文華殿大學士。倭仁以宋儒治學，身體力行，道咸間被奉為「一代儒宗」；亦因以「夷夏之防」為則，反對求一藝之末，奉夷人為師，被視為晚清保守派領袖。著有〈吏治輯要〉、〈為學大指〉等。
