 PREFACE.
The kindness and courtesy of that fine officer andestimable gentleman, Commander Sydney Smith Lee,in conferring upon the writer a position on the shipunder his command, gave him the opportunity of seeingthe “wonders of the world abroad,” in the JapanExpedition.
The following pages do not profess to be a historyof Japan, of which there are already a number extant,but only embody observations of what came undernotice, in a cruise of nearly two and a half years.They do not pretend to invariable accuracy, the writerhaving kept no journal, and having had to dependon scattered memoranda, jottings down to friends, andto memory. He has endeavored to tell the tale of histravels, as his eyes told it to him.
He has indulged in no adjectives about the ocean,because he believes that there has been more deliberatenonsense written upon it, than upon any otherthing in all Nature.
Richmond, Va., 1855.
