RECENT PRESS COMMENTS ON
A HANDBOOK OF MODERN JAPAN
“One of the most valued, because fruitful, members of the Asiatic
Society of Japan, and with the advantage of over fifteen years’
residence in the provinces and capital of the Mikado’s Empire,
Professor Clement is probably the best fitted to give us not only a
handbook of Japan, but _the_ Handbook. His twenty-one chapters, with
appendix and index, abundant bibliography, rich discussion of varied
topics, make this the best book-picture of the Japan of to-day. Besides
readableness, one has the sense, while enjoying it, to know that
it is perfectly trustworthy. A laborious and conscientious student
has patiently sifted and tested his facts, and with judicial mind
presented them. No subject of importance concerning the Japanese and
their country is left without treatment.... This is the book for the
library and the busy man in 1903—whether there be peace or war with
Russia.”—_The Outlook._
“Just what Americans wish to know of Japan.... The ‘Handbook’ is a
veritable storehouse of information. It is surprising how much can be
crammed into so small a space, and how conveniently and attractively it
can be done. The volume is copiously and artistically illustrated, and
plentifully supplied with maps which show clearly just what one wants
to know about the Empire of the Mikado. Great familiarity with his
subject is shown by Mr. Clement’s work.”—_Chicago Journal._
