€o., 1910. Cloth; 16mo.; 119 pages.

In times when everything relating to the 
history and literature of Japan has become 
of such vivid interest this admirable col- 
lection of translations of poems by Japanese 
poets will be very welcome, especially to 
those who may not have had time or oppor- 
tunity to form an acquaintance with more 
pretentious works by great Oriental schol- 
ars. Inart, as Mr. Stewart-Dick once said, 
the European requires that everything 
should be stated with the utmost fullness of 
a tedious realism, before he can grasp its 
meaning, but to the more cultured Japanese 
a mere hint or slight suggestion is sufficient. 
The reviewer does not know of a better 
volume to recommend to the reader who 
wishes an introduction to this fascinating 
form of Japanese literature.
