Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Japan's Accession to the Comity of Nations
Defective and unsatisfying as such an attempt to sketch the history of reform in Japan must necessarily be, the writer never theless thought it incumbent on him not to Shirk the task, seeing that, having lived so long in the Far East as an eye-witness of the events recorded, and as an occasional assistant of their authors, he felt particularly called upon to contribute to an appreciation of the magnificent achievements of the statesmen and diplomatists of the Meiji Era who have laid the foundation-stone of Japan's enlighten ment and international equality.
