Tales of Old Japan (Classic Reprint)

Samurai, but we cannot withhold our admiration from the self-sacrifices which men will still make for the love of their country. The two first of the Tales have already appeared in the Fortnightly I teview, and two of the Sermons, with uportion of the Appendix on the subject of the Hara-K iri, in the pages of the Cornhill Magazine. I have to thank the editors of those periodicals for permission to reprint them here. I. .MK)N, January 7, 1871.
