Excerpt from Japan From the Japanese Government History, Vol. 7: Edited With Supplementary Chapters The present revised edition Of the History Of the Empire Of Japan (compiled, in 1893, for the Imperial Japanese Commission of the World's Columbian Exposition at Chicago, by Messrs. K. Takatsu, S. Mikami, M. Isoda, and others, and published in Tokyo by order Of the Department of Education) is not intended to supersede the original edition, the high qualities Of which are, on the contrary, recommended to all students Of Japanese history. That work admirably represents what might be termed the ortho dox View Of the national history, and is free alike from the uh scientific method Oi the more conservative historian, and from the superficial speculations Of the more radical, but not more scientific, student. Were the present editor to write an original work on Japanese history, however, he would, it is unnecessary to say, change the entire manner of presentation in order to make it accord with his own conception Of the subject-matter. In this revision, he has not changed the general order of the original work, but has merely corrected a few data which are Obviously out Of date, omitted those minor facts which may well be dispensed with, and made the general narrative somewhat smoother than it was. The fourth part is, however, the editor's own work. The primary aim in this division Of the volume has been to supply a popular and accurate account Of certain phases of the national progress that has taken place since the History Of the Empire was prepared a dozen years ago. The substance of chapter XVIII has appeared among the new chapters supplied by the editor to the new edition of Brinkley's (edit) Japan, (j. B. Millet CO Boston, and has been inserted here with the permission Of those publishers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
