Good only: three inches of the backstrip missing crease at upper corner of front wrapper with archival tape reinforcement on the verso old dampstain to margins of first 40 pp. Text otherwise clean binding sound. Sidey Gulick 1860-1945 was "an advocate for international understanding and the best-known defender of the rights of Japanese Americans in the early 20th century.In 1887 he was posted by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions to Japan and was assigned a remote outpost in Matsumaya Kumamoto prefecture. In the years that followed he became an admirer of Japanese culture and learned to read write and speak Japanese fluently. In 1906 he was named professor of Systematic Theology at Doshisha University in Kyoto and a year later was also invited as lecturer at Imperial University in Kyoto.During this period Gulick became a notable interpreter of Japan for the West. In his book Evolution of the Japanese: Social and Psychic 1903 he reported on society religion and family life among the Japanese.He also presented himself as an opponent of imperialism and an advocate of independence for Asian countries.In 1913 due to poor health Gulick resigned his professorships and left Japan. Upon returning to the United States he was named secretary of the department of international justice and goodwill of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America. Through this position he sought to improve international understanding especially between the United States and Japan and deter war.In the wake of the enactment of California's anti-Asian alien land law he threw himself into the immigration question and distinguished himself as a defender of Japanese Americans. Gulick called for just treatment of all aliens and immigrants regardless of their race color or religion" Densho Encyclopedia. In this book he addresses and attempts to dispel common American misconceptions about the Japanese writing in the Foreword "It is hoped that this brief statement concerning widely circulated falsehoods may serve as an antidote for the poison" of anti-Japanese propaganda.

London: Sir Isaac Pitman & Sons 1909. Hardcover. Very good. First edition in English. 217 pp. with index 3 maps and more than 70 photographic illustrations. Foxing to the first ca. 20 pp otherwise a very nice copy. "Major Émile Antoine Henry de Bouillane de Lacoste 1867-1937 was a military officer who after serving with the French army in Indochina undertook a number of extended voyages to different parts of Asia on behalf of the French authorities. He wrote several books based on his travels. Around Afghanistan is an English translation of a work originally published in Paris in 1908 under the title Autour de l'Afghanistan aux frontières interdites Around Afghanistan by forbidden borders. As the French title makes clearer than the English Bouillane de Lacoste was denied permission by the Afghan authorities to travel in Afghanistan. He thereupon he devised a scheme to travel around the borders of the country. Starting from Tehran in late April 1906 Bouillane de Lacoste traveled first to Meshed in northeastern Persia Iran and from there into Russian Central Asia through Ashkabad present-day Ashgabat and Merv both in present-day Turkmenistan Bukhara and Samarkand. After reaching the end of the Russian railway line at Andijan present-day Andijon Uzbekistan he proceeded into the Altai Mountains in present-day Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan which he then crossed into China and British India. The next stage of journey was from Srinagar Kashmir to Lahore and from there across Baluchistan in present-day Pakistan and back into Persia where he eventually reached Tehran in late January of 1907. The journey was made by rail and horse caravan. Bouillane de Lacoste was accompanied by Lieutenant Hippolyte Marie Joseph Antoine Enselme born 1872 who had served with Bouillane de Lacoste in Indochina and accompanied him on an earlier voyage to Manchuria. Bouillane de Lacoste's account is written as a diary and contains descriptions of the landscape and the people he encountered" World Digital Library. Sir Isaac Pitman & Sons hardcover books
