JAPANESE IMPRESSIONS
By Paul Louis Couchoud. Translated from the French “Sages et Poètes d’Asie,” by Frances Rumsey, with a specially written Preface by Anatole France. Demy 8vo. 7s. 6d. net.
This book consists of the impressions of Japan of a keen observer, a scholar, and a remarkable master of language. “The charm of M. Couchoud,” says Monsieur Anatole France, “lies in that rare power to evoke ancient or distant facts which is the faculty of a Renan and a Ferrero, and which touches history with the interest of a living spectacle.” The book contains a long and highly characteristic introduction by Monsieur Anatole France, which has never been printed in French.
