One stormy day as I was trudging homeward in company with an inveterate pedestrian--a young Englishman who persisted in taking 'constitutional exercise' in all kinds of weather--he suddenly halted at the brid ge that crossed the broad moat before the Sakurada gateway and exclaimed: 'Here is the spot where was enacted the most thrilling episode in modern Japanese history. On a day like this about fourteen years ago the de facto ruler of the Japanese empire was attacked at the head of this bridge in the very midst of his guards by a band of seventeen Mito romins and was ignominously beheaded.'.Being deeply interested in his graphic account of the tragedy I eagerly read up all the narratives. .and came to the conclusion that the affair was worthy to be woven into the warp and aoof of a romance."--preface ; stamps of the Department of the Navy and bookplate of the Crew's Library of the U.S.S.

‎The Young Mandarin.‎

‎Boston.: Congregational Sunday School and Publishing Society. 1st Edition. 1896. Black and white frontispiece with tissue guard and 2 further illustrations by H. Winthrop Peirce. Attractive grey cloth covered boards illustrated in blue and green. 396pp. Some light soiling mainly to the rear board and spine. Head and tail of spine tender rear inner hinge split but secure corners rubbed and a neat prior owner signature on the front free endpaper dated 3/23/'97. Much better than it sounds this is a very pleasing copy of a scarce item. "The author states that ' the story - though not all fact is not fiction. Its incidents are either real occurrences or like them. The official corruption presented may be less in other localities; yet it is to be feared that it is general and great. The customs described may differ in other parts of China; the author has presented what he knew prevailed in the vicinity of Amoy his home for a time. <br> <br>The facts regarding the famine were gathered from published reports of missionaries and from statements made by missionaries to the author. At least one of those stated that sixty-three per cent of government appropriations were taken for their own use by mandarins instead of being applied for the relief of suffering. <br> <br>The Tai Ping Rebellion is of course a matter of history: but the facts relating to the capture of Amoy were obtained from him whose name Rev. J.V.N. Talmage D.D. for more than 40 years a missionary in China appears on the page of dedication." . Congregational Sunday School and Publishing Society hardcover‎

Do you know who these Boxers are They are members of a secret patriotic society. They love their country and want to prevent it from falling into the possession of foreigners. They believe that these foreigners have come to overthrow their government and to destroy their religion. They are opposed to the ruling family in China who are Manchus. These Manchus came from a territory outside of China Proper and Chinese Boxers have always disliked to have the rulers of their country chosen from Manchuria."
