Korea and Marquis Ito.

IN Korea With Marquis TO-" by
Prof. George Trumbull Ladd. is now
published by Charles Scribners Sons.
IT is one of the most important books
on Korea, and the present plans Of
Japan in that country that have ap-
peared.
Prof Ladd. for some years professor
Of philosophy at Yale University, and
the author Of important works on
philosophy and psychology, was invited
by the japanese government 10 lecture
in Japan a few years ago. Just after
the lectures were finished Marquis Ito
who was entering upon his mission fo-'
the reorganization of Korea, invited
Pref. Ladd to accompany him there, and

spent a number OF months in Korea
With Marquis Ito. whose important civ
iliZinE work he was enabled 10 assist
by incidental counsel connected with
the attitude Of the foreign missionaries,
as well as by his addresses TO the
Koreans on the fundamental truths OF
civilized government and social progress
As. the Impressions Of so able a man
who was given such exceptional OppOT-
tunities for observation. the new book
should carry great weight. His estimate
Of the Marquis Ito, his account Of mis-
sions and missionaries. OF the resources
and finance, education and public Jus
tice, foreigners and foreign relations.
ought 20 be OF the most vivid interest
while his Impressions and observations
OF travel IN many parts of Korea should
make graphic and suggestive as well as
agreeable reading. The book is illus
