Synopsis
Excerpt from Memoirs of a Captivity in Japan, Vol. 1 of 3: During the Years 1811, 1812, and 1813 and With Observations on the Country and the People
The result of this examination exhibits Japan as presenting the spectacle of a nation advancing to a certain point in civilization, and there becoming stationary, at least in science and domestic arts.
