Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Advance Japan: A Nation Thoroughly in Earnest
HE contest just concluded between Japan and China had the effect of directing public atten tion to the serious' side of the Japanese character. A people capable of waging warfare so systematically and successfully cannot fail to occupy a most prominent position' in the twentieth century, now so near its dawn. But though they have shown themselves to be well equipped for the fray, the tendency is distinctly towards the re-establishment Of peaceful intercourse with China, on that footing of perfect equality which was unattain able so long as the people of the Middle Kingdom held in derision the efforts of the Japanese nation to excel in the arts Of the Occident.
