Transactions of the Asiatic Society of Japan Volume VII, Part IV, 1879 but reprinted 1889 (H.M.S. "Phaeton" at Nagasaki in 1808)

Descripción

This is a reprint of Volume VII, Part IV, pages 267-464, (article is at pages 329-44). In September of 1808 the British ship H.M.S Phaeton deliberately probed the Japanese exclusionary policy at Nagasaki. While an important event in series of challenges to the exclusionary policy that would ultimately lead to the opening of Japan, the incident has received very little scholarly attention. In this article Aston translates the official diary kept by the Japanese government in Nagasaki regarding the incident. This translation is probably the most detailed and accurate account of the Phaeton incident. Other articles in this issue include, A Discourse on Infinite Vision (J.M. James), Wasobyoe, the Japanese Gulliver (B.H. Chamberlain), Analyses of Surface Waters in Tokiyo (R.W. Atkinson), A History of Japanese Art (W. Anderson), Notes on Osaka (J. Summers) and Ancient Japanese Rituals - Part II (Ernest Satow). Additional matters include Reports on general meetings and the annual meeting, report of the council and a listing of members. ~ Condition. This issue is in Good+ condition. The paper wraps are sound with some tears and pieces missing along the right margin. Internally there are areas of light to medium foxing. N° de ref. del artículo 1889050705
