Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Mikado's Empire, Vol. 1 of 2: Book I. History of Japan From 600 B. C. To 1872 A. D
I have studied economy in the matter of Japanese names and titles, risking the charge of monotony for the sake of clearness. The schol ar will, I trust, pardon me for apparent anachronisms and omissions. For lack of space or literary skill, I have had, in some cases, to con dense with a brevity painful to a lover of fairness and candor. The title justifies the emphasis of one idea that pervades the book.
