Hildreth, Richard. Japan as it was and is: a handbook of old Japan: a reprint, ed. and rev., with notes and additions by Ernest W. Clement; introd. by William Elliot Griffis. *$3. McClurg.
The material of the 1861 edition of Hildreth’s “Japan” has been revised and reprinted with copious illustrations and adequate editorial matter. The work is no less important now than when it first appeared in 1855, for the fact that it is a compilation from all the important European writings on Old Japan establishes its permanent value. In the revision, the author has harmonized the spelling of Japanese words with the modern system of Romanization, and has added such other notes and explanations as might be necessary.
