Continuing the history to the close of 1905, with the provisions of the Treaty of Portsmouth between Russia and Japan, and supplementary chapters by Baron Kentaro Kaneko.
“Yet deserves a place in a popular library, however, for its comparative freedom from sentimental and moral judgment of the things narrated, as well as for its wealth of descriptive, though uncritically presented data. Mr. Vorse’s two supplementary chapters on the constitution and the Chinese and Russian wars seem to possess singularly strong and weak points. Baron Kaneko’s two lectures cannot be said to deserve a place in a book of history. They are pleas of an advocate, as well as amenities of an envoy.” K. Asakawa.

“The real claim of the book depends not on the revised features so much as on the whole view it gives of Japanese history from the beginning of the empire down to the present time.”
