Excerpt from Japan of the Japanese
While the present volume is primarily intended for those whose knowledge of Japan is limited, or has still to be acquired, I hope that the most esoteric readers will find in it something that they did not know before. It is far from exhaustive, even of the elements of the subjects of which it treats, still moie so of the number which merited treatment. Its limits of space were prescribed, and chapters on Religion, Foreign and Domestic Politics, Colonial Expansion and Administration, the changes in the Economic and Social conditions Of life that have followed on the last war and are incidental to growing wealth and strength, and on the progress already made towards the attainment Of the Hegemony of the Pacific, have been necessarily excluded in favour of those which seem more likely to appeal to popular taste and requirements.
