Clement, Ernest Wilson. Handbook of modern Japan. [**]$1.40. McClurg.
The introduction states: “The book endeavors to portray Japan in all its features as a modern world power: It cannot be expected to cover in great detail all the ground outlined, because it is not intended to be an exhaustive encyclopedia of ‘things Japanese.’ It is expected to satisfy the specialist, not by furnishing all materials, but referring for particulars to works where abundant materials may be found. It is expected to satisfy the average reader, by giving a kind of bird’s-eye view of modern Japan. It is planned to be a compendium of condensed information, with careful references to the best sources of more complete knowledge.”
