RECENT PRESS COMMENTS ON
A HANDBOOK OF MODERN JAPAN
“One of the most valued, because fruitful, members of the Asiatic Society of Japan, and with the advantage of over fifteen years’ residence in the provinces and capital of the Mikado’s Empire, Professor Clement is probably the best fitted to give us not only a handbook of Japan, but the Handbook. His twenty-one chapters, with appendix and index, abundant bibliography, rich discussion of varied topics, make this the best book-picture of the Japan of to-day. Besides readableness, one has the sense, while enjoying it, to know that it is perfectly trustworthy. A laborious and conscientious student has patiently sifted and tested his facts, and with judicial mind presented them. No subject of importance concerning the Japanese and their country is left without treatment.... This is the book for the library and the busy man in 1903—whether there be peace or war with Russia.”—The Outlook.
“Just what Americans wish to know of Japan.... The ‘Handbook’ is a veritable storehouse of information. It is surprising how much can be crammed into so small a space, and how conveniently and attractively it can be done. The volume is copiously and artistically illustrated, and plentifully supplied with maps which show clearly just what one wants to know about the Empire of the Mikado. Great familiarity with his subject is shown by Mr. Clement’s work.”—Chicago Journal.
“The book is evidently written by an authority on Modern Japan, and is just what its title indicates—a handbook of the Japan of to-day.”—Denver Republican.
“We feel no hesitation in affirming that for one seeking within the pages of one book the most information of Japan and its people, and of a reliable character, there has been nothing heretofore produced that excels this Handbook of Modern Japan by Professor Clement.”—Japan Evangelist.
