GLOSSARY.
IN
the following list of Japanese words used in this work an opportunity
is given to correct a number of mistakes which crept into, or rather
walked boldly into, the text. The author lays no claim to a knowledge
of the Japanese language beyond what any foreigner might naturally
acquire in being thrown among the people for some time. As far as
possible he has followed Hepburn's Japanese Dictionary for
orthography and definition, and Brunton's Map of Japan for
geographical names. Brunton's map, as well as that published by Rein,
spells Settsu with one t.
For the sake of
uniformity I have followed this spelling in the text, though it is
contrary to the best authorities. It may be added that Ōshiu and
Tōtōmi should be printed with a long accent over each o.
The
words Samurai, Daimio, Kioto, Tokio, and several others, are now so
commonly seen in the periodical literature of our country that this
form of spelling for these words has been retained. For rules
concerning the pronunciation of Japanese words the reader is referred
to the Introduction in Hepburn's Dictionary.
