About this book
Marco Polo's report of the Mongol attack on Japan opens this account of how Europe came to know the country. Richard Hildreth's old handbook is reissued in two volumes with notes by Ernest W. Clement and a foreword by William Elliot Griffis, and this is the first, printed in Chicago in 1906. Its chapters follow the Portuguese arrival in the 1540s, the voyages of Fernam Mendez Pinto, and the mission of Francis Xavier. They go on to the rise of Nobunaga, the founding of Nagasaki and a Japanese embassy sent to the Pope.
