Gutes Exemplar; Gebrauchs- und Lagerspuren; Vors�e nachgedunkelt; Einband berieben u. m. kl. L�ren; hs. Besitzvermerk; farbige Karten tls. lose; aber insgesamt wohl komplett. - . In the 283 pages of introductory matter under the heading, PRELIMINARY INFORMATION, an effort has been made to inter-pret many things Japanese of interest to the traveler, and to aid him to a quick and satisfactory understanding of them. This special knowledge will be found greatly to enhance the pleasure of a visit to the Japanese Empire. The monographs on How to Reach Japan, Traveling Expenses, Money, Guides, Hotels, Inns, and Food; Tips, Plan of Tour, Seasons, Climate, Hints to Travelers, Health, Shops and Curios, Sports, Hunting and Fishing, Geography, Language, Literature, Architecture, the Government and its Functions; the People and their Homes, Arts, Customs, Religion, and History; and the scores of minor subjects will be found of immediate and permanent value. The dispassionate estimates of Japan and the Japanese are believed to be just. Those unfamiliar with the Japanese language, who may yet wish to travel without an expensive courier, will find of genuine value the vocabulary at page exxx et seq., as well as the vernacular equivalents of many English words in the text. The Japanese words are transliterated on the Romaji system explained at page cxxvn, and the different spelling of certain of them illustrates the various usages employed by authorities writing in that system. Most of the Chinese equivalents given are used in every-day Japanese speech. In many places throughout the text italic and other type forms have been employed more as an aid to the eye in picking out names from amid the Roman characters, than in an effort to accord with typographical requirements. A meritorious Guidebook, by showing the careful traveler how to obtain the best returns for his money and time, should save its cost the first day it is used, and we venture to believe that such may be the case with this one. � (Vorwort) // INHALT : I.
