PREFACE So many works have of late been written on Japan thatperhaps the best apology for publishing a new one is thatthe public seem to wish for more. My aim has been to give in language as free aspossible from pedantic jargon such an account of Niponand its people as may instruct, without unduly boringmy readers. A great deal more might have been writtenthan I have here attempted, but fortunately strict limitswere imposed upon me, and I sincerely hope that usefuland interesting things only have found admission. I have been obliged to omit, most reluctantly, a largesection in which I intended to give some account of thereligious and moral systems which prevail in Japan, but,should this work succeed in finding a moderate measureof public approbation, I hope soon to expand my noteson these subjects into a separate volume.
