Xunzi: The Complete Text, Eric L. Hutton's 2014 translation from Princeton University Press, is a complete scholarly translation of the Warring States Confucian philosopher Xunzi's writings by a specialist in early Chinese philosophy. Its strength is that it is a complete, annotated rendering from a major academic press rather than a partial or popular selection. Its limit is that any translation carries interpretive choices; a reader wanting to weigh a specific disputed passage should consult Hutton's own notes or an alternative translation alongside it.
