Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Wae Yang Jin: Eight Months' Journal Kept on Board One of Her Majesty's Sloops of War During Visits to Loochoo, Japan, and Pootoo
These countries, as to render a narrative of a British sailor's friendly intercourse with them not super?uous. For eight months he resided among the inhabitants of these regions, under very favourable conditions for seeing them in the ordinary intercourse of civil life, and with his mind on the alert to observe so much that was new and strange. He was also, on several occasions, favoured with the assistance of gentlemen who, from their knowledge of the language, were both able and willing to explain to him matters that without such aid must have continued to be wrapped in obscurity.
