Excerpt from Japan: Real and Imaginary

Thus, having seen forty thousand miles Of the Pacific I feel that my approach to Japan justifies my present work. I do not claim any originality in sources. Credit is due to the works Of Brinkley, Chamberlain, Murdoch, Aston, and others whose researches have Opened the shell of Japanese historical seclusion. But I limited myself to authorities. I purposely avoided descriptive writers including Lafcadio Hearn-so as to be free from all bias for or against Japan. To the pages of The japan Chronicle I owe a debt which can never be repaid for the sane and just light they throw upon the daily life and thought Of the Japanese.
