Excerpt from Chiushingura or the Loyal League, a Japanese Romance

The poems in the appendix show the vein of Japanese ideas in this direction, but the essence of the original seems hardly to have been preserved; and the pieces are more curious in ingenuity of translation than valuable for intrinsic merit.

Excerpt from Chiushingura or the Loyal League, a Japanese Romance

Appendix, p.157. - "Meiji, translated illustrious rule," is better rendered "enlightened rule."

Appendix, p. 164. We shall climb together the Sbide Hill. The note here is erroneous. Mr, Chamberlain (Trans. As.Soc. of Japan, vol vii., pt iv. p. 393, n. 34) says: "Souls on their way to hell have to cross the river Sandzogawa. containing the waters of Avarice. Cruelty, and Envy, where a crone named Datsulba despoils them of their raiment, which she hangs upon the branches of a willow tree."

For the preparation of the design on the cover, taken from a Japanese album of decorative art some two hundred years old, in the possession of the translator, be is indebted to his friend, Mr. T, W. Cutler, of Queens Square, Bloomsbury.
