FOREWORD

throughout the world, I feel confident that I am rendering them a genuine service, and if others, who are anxious on more general lines to endeavour to learn more of the spirit and genius of the people of this Empire, will devote a short time to the study of this subject, I am sure they will be more than repaid for their pains.

Kilmarnock.

British Embassy, Tokyo,

March 20, 1915.
