Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Agitated Japan: The Life of Baron II Kamon-No-Kami Naosuké (Based on the Kaikoku Shimatsu of Shimada Saburo) Since the appearance of Mr. S. Shimada´s book, Kaikoku Shimatsu, (Summary of the Opening of Japan to Civilization), I have been desirous of introducing the great subject of his book more widely to the public of the Land of Liberty, for it was Baron II who sacrificed his life in order to conclude a commercial treaty with the United States of America. Having been thus far prevented from accomplishing my purpose, I availed myself of the leisure afforded in a short stay in America, to boldly attempt the writing of an abridged account of the Baron´s political and diplomatic career. In so doing I have been encouraged by Dr. W. E. Griffis who kindly undertook to revise my manuscript. Without his help the book would never have been completed.
