"I am delighted that this book is available here for such a reasonable price. Sir Ernest Satow is an important figure in the Victorian understanding of Japan, together with William George Aston, Frederick Victor Dickins, A.B. Mitford (Lord Redesdale) and, of course, Basil Hall Chamberlain.
Through this book these letters (the originals of which can be consulted in the UK National Archives at Kew) are made easily available to researchers and students for the first time." by a Book Depository customer
