Synopsis

Excerpt from An Army Officer on Leave in Japan: Including a Sketch of Manila and Environment Philippine Insurrection of 1896-7, Dewey's Battle of Manila Bay and Description of Formosa

While on duty in the Philippine Islands, during my last tour of service, in company with an army officer the writer made a journey through Japan, Korea, Manchuria, and China. Careful notes were prepared during the trip with a view to their publication in the form of an itinerary through the countries mentioned.

Before half of the present volume was completed I dis covered that it would be impossible to encompass under one cover all the countries visited, so have reserved an account of my visit to Korea, Manchuria, and China for future publication, provided sufficient encouragement in the circulation of the present work warrants it.
