Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Catalogue of the Romanized Geographical Names of Korea
This little work* on Korean geographical names in the romanized form, has been compiled from the list of villages and towns, mountains and rivers noted down during two journeys in Korea, by one of the authors during 1899 and 1902. Therefore, one will find in this catalogue many of the vernacular names which a traveller is likely to hear most frequently during his trips to the interior. The author's routes traversed nearly all the parts of the peninsula so that the present list may, he hopes, fairly represent the common geographical names occurring in Korea. He intentionally avoided highways and selected the country roads to which his special study led him. On this account, some of the names on the main roads may not be found in his lists.
