Abstract
IN this large octavo volume of 300 pages, admirably printed at the Rikkyo Gakuin Press, we have the first instalment of what promises to be as full and accurate an account of the discovery of Japan and of the rise, course and downfall of Christianity in that country during the sixteenth and following centuries as the accessible materials render possible. A distinguishing feature is the extent to which native sources of information have been consulted, and though these are neither ample nor very trustworthy, their use lends an interest and an authority to the work which are lacking to the results of previous efforts to present the subject to European readers.
