Just before Mr. Bayard Taylor left New York to fill the honored position of Ameri can Minister at the Court of Berlin, the reviser of this, his work, enjoyed the pleasure of meeting him and chatting upon Japan, which country he had vis ited when a member of Commodore M. C. Perry's expedition in 1854. In re-editing Mr. Taylor's com pilation, which has so long enjoyed deserved popll larity, the object has been to maintain its character as an illustrated work of travel. Obsolete state ments have been eliminated. Fresh selected and original material has been added, with just enough of history to give the reader an intelligent idea of the causes and processes of the profound changes which have made Japan a new nation. The geo graphical and other proper names have been ex pressed according to the standard orthography and pronunciation of Tokio, the Imperial capital.
