Abstract

Japan at First hand
November 23, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents information on the books "Japan at First Hand," written by Joseph I.C. Clarke and "The Development of Japan," written by Kenneth Scott Latourette. Clarke would see for himself nature and man in the Princess Country. Right honestly and industriously he sought to find that sort of people the Japanese are. He looked, not through a prism, but in good white sunlight. Clarke appreciated that has taken place in the background and perspective of the centuries, as well as what greets the trained eye of the observer. Latourette's book admirably supplements that of Clarke and may prove to the more permanent volume. He is more philosophical, scholarly, reflective and erudite.
