Title: Sir Edmund Hornby
Description: Sir Edmund Hornby founded and was Chief Judge of the British Supreme Court in Constantinople and the British Court for China and Japan.  This book provides his reminiscences of his early life as a barrister, his time in the Ottoman Empire and then his time in China and Japan.   It was published posthumously by his daughter Constance.  

While a rollicking read, Hornby clearly did not have time before his death to check the book for accuracy and a number of his recollections do not match historical records.
