Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Garter Mission to Japan
The return voyage across the Pacific was in every way delightful; and a prolonged tour in hospitable Canada, covering many thousand miles, enabled the Mission to form some estimate of the growing prosperity of that wonderful Dominion.
But the record which is contained in the following pages deals only with the main object of the expedition. A detailed account of the outward and homeward journeys would by itself fill a volume. It is not possible to do more here than to give expression to a very real feeling of thanks for the splendid hospitality of which the Mission were the grateful recipients in the East as in the West.
