Excerpt from The Renaissance of Korea This is not the time when sentimental friends of liberty and weeping advocates of oppressed nations are likely to be heard. The world is too full of woe to listen to any tale of far-away wrongs, when the home situation is scarcely tolerable.

Excerpt from The Renaissance of Korea This is not the time when sentimental friends of liberty and weeping advocates of oppressed nations are likely to be heard. The world is too full of woe to listen to any tale of far-away wrongs, when the home situation is scarcely tolerable. To be heard at all above the wail of humanity, a special cause must have as its spokesman one who knows whereof he testifies, who can present the case calmly, justly, forcefully and without rancour. He ought, also, to be a person whose horizon is wider than the Korean's, or even that of the Far East, a man with weltanschauung and a mind that comprehends the meaning of world move ments as a great whole. Such a person is the author. A British subject, and so by nationality one of Japan's allies, he has seen with his own eyes in Japan and Korea what that Ally is doing, and' he knows what the underlying objectives are. He also knows from personal and firsthand sources what actually occurred in Korea last year. History has supplied him with the foundation in early and later centuries upon which modern Korea has been built. 'when the present writer recalls the many hundreds of pages of manuscript personally examined, detailing the true story of the fateful year of 1919, not to speak of what he has read of the earlier outbreak of 19] I, he marvels at the temperate tone of the chapters relating to events of last year. The Christian spirit of Captain Graves and his judicial mind have made him give to the public a calm, dis passionate statement of the entire case in its historical setting and its tragical outcome.
