The Land of the Rising Sun. By Rev. Canon H. B. Tristram, D.D., F.R.S. With forty-six illustrations by Edward Whymper, a Map, and an index. 8vo, cloth, $2.00.
“A delightful book by a competent author, who, as a naturalist, writes well of the country, while as a Christian and a humanitarian he writes with sympathy of the new institutions of new Japan.”—The Independent.
The Gist of Japan:
The Islands, their People, and Missions. By Rev. R. B. Peery, A.M., Ph.D., of the Lutheran Mission, Saga. Illustrated. 12mo, cloth decorated, $1.25.
This book does not pretend to be an exhaustive treatise of an exhaustless topic; it does pretend to cover the subject; and whosoever is eager to know the “gist” of those matters Japanese in which Westerners are most interested—the land, the people, the coming of Christianity, the difficulties and prospects of her missions, the condition of the native Church—will find it set down in Dr. Peery’s book in a very interesting, reliable, instructive, and condensed form.
