摘　　要：《清代毗陵名人小传稿》卷十所列《孟森传》,长期被误认为张惟骧之作。梳理该书撰人及成书过程,并证以《蒋维乔日记》,可知此传实出蒋维乔的增补。蒋氏为孟森常州同乡、江阴南菁书院(高等学堂)同窗及上海商务印书馆同事,相识甚早,交游直至孟氏暮岁,因而能习知孟氏生平学行,并为之作传。此传并无行述、事略、碑传等完整的孟氏生平材料作为底稿,然而抽绎其文,并推定其所述事实之所本,可知皆来自蒋氏所见、所闻及所亲历之事,大多有直接、可靠的来源。蒋氏《孟森传》,实为有关孟森生平最早、最完整的原始史料。唯其并无孟氏行述一类文字作为底稿,方得免溢美之词,而多纪实之语,其史料价值,应予表彰。The Biography of Meng Sen in the volume 10 of the Manuscript of Elites Biographies in Piling in Qing Dynasty has long been mistakenly attributed to Zhang Weixiang.This paper provides a detailed analysis of the authorship and the process of compilation with evidences,including from Jiang Weiqiao Dairy.The biography was actually supplemented by Jiang Weiqiao.Jiang and Meng were both natives from Changzhou,schoolmates in Nanjing Academy and colleagues in Shanghai Commercial Press.They maintained a close relationship from early to old ages and thoroughly understood each other.Therefore,Jiang was able to write a biography for Meng.The biography did not include references like personal accounts,concise accounts,or inscriptions as the basis about Meng’s life.However,under review,study and inference,most of the information came directly from what Jiang saw,heard and experienced,which is first-hand and reliable.The Biography of Meng Sen by Jiang is the earliest and most comprehensive historical material on Meng’s life.Although it lacks personal accounts about Meng’s life as a reference,it avoids excessive praise and focuses more on facts,which is regrettable but contributes to its historical value and deserves recognition.
