Sinopsis
Excerpt from Japan: The Rise of a Modern Power
The accession of jimmu-tenno, in 660 b.c., as the first Mikado - the present Mikado, Yoshihito, is claimed to be the rzznd of the line - is the first date officially recognized in Japanese history. If, which is improbable, the date is correct, the Japanese royal family goes back to a period when the Assyrians were invading Egypt, the Greeks were spreading into Asia Minor, Sicily and Italy, the Romans were being ruled by kings, and our own islands and most of Eur0pe were sunk in barbarism. Assuming the date to be right, Jimmu was a contemporary of the great Greek philo sopher Thales, and lived a century before the Chinese philosopher Confucius, the Indian philosopher Buddha, and Cyrus, the founder. Of that Persian Empire whose contact with the Greeks was to have such momentous effects on European civilization. As the earliest extant annals of the Japanese - the Kojiki - were composed in A. D. 712, it is impossible to say what degree of truth there is in the traditions connected with Jimmu.

Excerpt from Japan, the Rise of a Modern Power
My father died while this book was in an incomplete state, although the greater part of it was in type; and it is owing to the kindness of several of his friends who have consented to put the work into final form that it has become possible to publish it.
In writing it his object was to describe, for English-speaking people, the main facts of Japanese history. Despite the efforts of numerous Orientalists to popularize knowledge of Japanese history and of Japanese political, economic, and social conditions, he felt that a great deal has yet to be done before the average British youth and adult will be as familiar with Japan as the average Japanese youth and adult are with Great Britain. As Viscount Chinda, the Japanese Ambassador to the Court of St. James, said in addressing the British present at a meeting of, the Japan Society held in London on December 13, 1916, although there never had been a time when the bonds of fraternal feelings between the Japanese and the British had been so strong, 'you do not know one-tenth as much about us as we do about you'. Obviously, therefore, there is room for another - many another - book in English tracing the evolution of Japan, and pointing out the salient features of the Japanese civilization of to-day.
