Kaempfer, Engelbert. History of Japan. 3v. *$9. Macmillan.
“Kaempfer covers an extraordinarily wide field. The long journey to Japan, the geography, climate, origin and history of the people, their religions, their mode of government, their chronological system, their laws, manners and customs, their natural and industrial productions, their systems of trade, are all described. The portion of the work which deals with the history and religion will now appeal only to the esoteric reader.... But nearly the whole of the second and third volumes, in which are described in minute detail the author’s life at Nagasaki; the journeys to and from and life at the capital; wayside scenes and travellers along the great high-roads, the Court of the Shogun, who is called the secular monarch, as distinct from ‘the Ecclesiastical hereditary Emperor,’ the Mikado and the popular festivals, are so full of interest that he would be indeed a dull reader who was not entranced by their continued intrinsic charms.”—Sat. R.
“It is a wise and faithful account with more than an occasional touch of dry humour.”
