Farlane, C: Japan -

. .

Résumé :
Excerpt from Japan: An Account, Geographical and Historical, From the Earliest Period at Which the Islands Composing This Empire Were Known to Europeans, Down to the Present Time; And the Expedition Fitted Out in the United States, Etc

IT appears to me erroneous to say - though it very commonly is said - that we know next to nothing of Japan and the Japanese. We possess, in books, old and new - but mostly old and voluminous - the means of knowing quite as much of them as we know of any other Eastern nation.
