Books
It may well be questioned whether, in the course of a like period in time, any country has ever undergone greater transitions, or made more rapid strides along the path of civilization than has Japan during the last quarter of a century. A group of numerous islands, situated on the high-road and thoroughfare of maritime traffic across, the Pacific, between the Eastern and Western hemispheres, and in area considerably exceeding Great Britain and Ireland, Japan, until thirty years ago, was a terra incognito to the rest of the world; exceeding even China in its conservatism and exclusiveness. And now, within a space of some five-and-twenty years, such changes have come about as to have given birth to the expression "the transformation of Japan".
