Excerpt from JapanScarcely a generation has passed away since the Japanese emerged from their oriental exclusiveness and entered the comity of western nations, with a rapidity unparalleled in ancient or modern history. Previous to the new era of progress, the shores of Japan were jealously guarded against intercourse with foreigners by a warlike feudal oligarchy. Hence our knowledge concerning the land and the people was of a meagre character, and that mostly erroneous, if not wholly imaginary.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
