JAPANESE MISCELLANY. By Lafcadio Hearn.
Little, Brown & Co., Boston.
The author of this unusual volume is the
lecturer on English literature in the I'm
perial University of Tokyo and the author
of several other and notable works on
Japanese subjects-"EXotics and RETROSPECT
tives,' I'm Ghostly Japan and Shadow
ings" The Miscellany is in form to some
extent handbook of the Japanese charac-
ter as developed in the folklore, fiction and
life today, and in the sense that the volume
creates distinct and charming atmos-
phere of its own the book is decidedly a
work of art. Japan is not only the lard Of
beautiful blossoms and resplendent dra-
gon-fiies. but on the side Of the practical
achievement is regarded as the America of
the east and pronounced factor in the
worlds foreign affairs. We of the west are
perhaps not aware that the subordinates Of
the Japanese civil service are the most
trustworthy and proud government officials
in the world and the most childlike in their
view of nature and themselves. The people
of whom Prof. Hearn has written have no
thought of modern battleships and urre-
stricted commerce. Their hearts are full
