Takekoshi, Yosaburo. Japanese rule in Formosa; with preface by Baron Shimpei Goto; tr. by George Braithwaite. *$3. Longmans.
7–25501.
A “narrative of all salient facts of historical interest since the date of the annexation of Formosa to Japan.... [It is] typical of the Japanese administrative system, which is the enthronement of bureaucratic principles of collective effort to the rigid exclusion of individualism. The book deserves study by all who wish to acquaint themselves with the methods by which Japan has raised herself to her present high position in the world, and which her statesmen will continue to use in pursuing their further plans of Imperial expansion.”—Lond. Times.
“Where the author is not concerned to emphasize the success of his countrymen the volume is one of undoubted value, since it contains a great deal of information as to the administrative mechanism of the government, which is not available in other works on the island.” Alleyne Ireland.
