Book excerpt: Excerpt from Korea in Transition According to the rules of the Young Peo ple's Missionary Movement, the Editorial Com mittee has liberty to make any alterations that it may consider necessary in the manuscripts submitted to it for publication. In making such changes it is customary to consult with the author. The absence of Dr. Gale in Korea has made it impossible to secure from his pen a few additions that were found desirable. These have been made exclusively in Chapters VII and VIII, and have been taken mainly from the reports of other missionaries. These are indicated by quotation marks. There have also been some rearrangement of material and a few elisions. The Committee regrets ear nestly that it has been impossible to submit all these changes to Dr. Gale for his approval.

Download or read book The Passing of Korea Classic Reprint written by Homer B. Hulbert and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-22 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Passing of Korea Much that is contained in this present volume is matter that has come under the writer's personal observation or has been derived directly from Koreans or from Korean works. Some of this matter has already appeared in 7723 Korea Review and elsewhere. The historical survey is a condensation from the writer's History of Korea. This book is a labour of love, undertaken in the days of Korea's distress, with the purpose Of interesting the reading public in a country and a people that have been frequently maligned and sel dom appreciated. They are overshadowed by China on the one hand in respect of numbers, and by Japan on the other in respect Of wit. They are neither good merchants like the one nor good fighters like the other, and yet they are far more like anglo-saxons in temperament than either, and they are by far the pleasantest people in the Far East to live amongst. Their failings are such as follow in the wake Of ignorance everywhere, and the bettering of their Opportunities will bring swift betterment to their condition. For aid in the compilation of this book my thanks are mainly due to a host Of kindly Koreans from every class in society, from the silk-clad yangban to the fettered criminal in prison, from the men who go up the mountains to monasteries to those who go down to the sea in ships.

Download or read book The Renaissance of Korea Classic Reprint written by Joseph Waddington Graves and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Renaissance of Korea This is not the time when sentimental friends of liberty and weeping advocates of oppressed nations are likely to be heard. The world is too full of woe to listen to any tale of far-away wrongs, when the home situation is scarcely tolerable. To be heard at all above the wail of humanity, a special cause must have as its spokesman one who knows whereof he testifies, who can present the case calmly, justly, forcefully and without rancour. He ought, also, to be a person whose horizon is wider than the Korean's, or even that of the Far East, a man with weltanschauung and a mind that comprehends the meaning of world move ments as a great whole. Such a person is the author. A British subject, and so by nationality one of Japan's allies, he has seen with his own eyes in Japan and Korea what that Ally is doing, and' he knows what the underlying objectives are. He also knows from personal and firsthand sources what actually occurred in Korea last year. History has supplied him with the foundation in early and later centuries upon which modern Korea has been built. 'when the present writer recalls the many hundreds of pages of manuscript personally examined, detailing the true story of the fateful year of 1919, not to speak of what he has read of the earlier outbreak of 19] I, he marvels at the temperate tone of the chapters relating to events of last year. The Christian spirit of Captain Graves and his judicial mind have made him give to the public a calm, dis passionate statement of the entire case in its historical setting and its tragical outcome.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Truth About Korea It is that spirit which, while serving as a soldier in the United States Army, I took an oath to crush and to which end the remainder of my life is dedicated. You who read this volume may feel that the people of Korea and the Orient have no common tie with the people of America and Europe, and that therefore we should not con cern ourselves with their affairs. It is true that they are of a different nationality and a different race. But today, above all nationalities and all races, is a common tie - Justice and Humanity. And it is in the name of Justice and Humanity that I present this volume for your consideration, as a plea for the right of twenty million human beings to enjoy their personal freedom and liberty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Choson, the Land of the Morning Calm: A Sketch of Korea NE evening in August, 1883, I found myself arriving in Tokio, after a journey into the interior of Japan. The thousand lights and lanterns of the great city, as I sped through its miles of streets in a jinrikisha, never seemed so brilliant nor so welcoming before. I felt I had reached home. Of leaving it, of sailing for America, I had at that moment about as much idea as you have, good reader, of set ting out to-morrow for Kamchatka. Coming events east no shadows before them; for all was one vast shadow, - night. Four days from that time I was on the broad Pacific with the Korean Special Mission to the United States, and a little more than two weeks later I entered my native land as a foreigner.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rebirth of Korea, the Reawakening of the People, Its Causes, and the Outlook Any contribution of fact or interpretation touching the Korean situation will be welcome at this time to all true friends of Korea. There is a special value in the statement and conclusions of one who has had the training of Mr. Hugh H. Cynn and the opportunities which have been his for obtaining information at first hand. Educated in the University of Southern California, Mr. Cynn has been for several years the principal of the Pai Chai School in Seoul. His duties have, on the one hand, kept him in close contact with the Japanese educational authorities, while on the other he has been in sympathetic relations with his own people for whom he is a loyal champion. He has been modest, temperate, and firm in securing and protecting the rights of the important school which has grown steadily under his leadership, and has devoted himself to its interests. One who reads, however, what is herein recorded will find a spirit which is concerned with issues outside of the academic realm.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Korea Review, 1905, Vol. 5 We have received from the publishers the above named volume and have read it with absorbing interest, for it bears not only upon the war in general but it contains a careful account of events in Korea which led up to, if they were not the main cause of, the conflict. After a short but appreciative introduction by Prof. Williams the author in his preface tells us in the following words what the object of the work is: This is an at tempt to present in a verifiable form some of the issues and the historical causes of the war now waged between Russia and japan, and the perusal of the book compels us to admit that the author has held himself down to his text with admirable repression. He has indulged in no passionate appeals for sympathy in the name of his nation nor has be asked the reader to accept any theories or deductions of his own. He has simply set down in a dispassionate and almost neutral manner the causes and issues of the war. We thought at first that if he did no more than this it would be rather stale reading, but we found it fascinating. The lucidity of his style and his luminous collocation of evidence make the book a pleasure to read. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
