Abstract
PROF. BASIL HALL CHAMBERLAIN, emeritus professor of Japanese and philology in the University of Tokyo, died at Geneva on February 15 at the age of eighty-four years. At the time of his retirement from the University of Tokyo in 1905, he was widely recognised as one of the first authorities on the life and culture of the Japanese, avoiding the sentimentality and false idealisation which characterised most writers on the country of his day.
