It certainly has a good start, in formal alliance with Great Britain to maintain peace and justice in the Far East.

BIBLIOGRAPHY.

The same as the preceding chapter, with the addition of "The Intercourse between the United States and Japan" (Nitobe); "Matthew Calbraith Perry," "Townsend Harris," and "Verbeck of Japan" (all by Griffis); "Advance Japan" (Morris); and Perry's Expedition (official report).

On the early history of New Japan there are many valuable works by Alcock, Black, Dickson, Dixon (W. G.), House, Lanman, Mounsey, Mossman, and others. See also Satow's translation of "Kinse Shiriaku." On the war with China (1894, 1895), see "Heroic Japan" (Eastlake and Yamada); and on the lessons and results of that war, see "The New Far East" (Diosy). "The Awakening of Japan" (Okakura), "The White Peril in the Far East" (Gulick), and "Young Japan" (Scherer) trace thoughtfully the development of New Japan. "Dai Nippon" (Dyer), chaps, ii. and iv., may be read with profit. "The Progress of Japan, 1853-1871" (Gubbins), covers thoroughly part of this period.
