Excerpt from The Loochoo Islands The Loochoo Islands are a group belonging to Japan and lying off the coast of Eastern slsta, between Japan proper and Formosa. They are inhabited by an interesting race of people; have had a long and occasionally eventful history, and possess a considerable volume of trade. The following pamphlet is the result of a visit to the islands in the summer of 1904. when the author was very courteously given much information about the group by the Japanese officials there. In the appendices will be found translations of an abstract of a Loochooan manuscript history and extracts from Chinese histories dealing with the islands, as well as a detailed memorandum in regard to the Yayeyama group, furnished by Mr. Kurokawa, the chief Japanese official in that group. The cordial thanks of the author are extended to Hon. James W. Davidson, of the American Consular Service, for kind letters of introduction and for much assistance in regard to the subject of the Loochoos; to Hon. Charles B. Harris, A merican Consul at Nagasaki, for much kindness shown to him; to Hon. M. Odagiri, the Japanese Consul-General at Shanghai, for his kindness in providing introductions; and also to H. E. Baron Narahara, Governor of the Loochoos, II. E. Chikami, Governor of Kagoshima ken; Mr. K. Kishimoto, Counsellor of Okinawa ken, and to a host of officials and others in the islands, whose unfailing courtesy, kindly interest, and rich stores of information enabled him to write these pages.

Excerpt from The Loochoo Islands There is always a peculiar charm about islands anywhere, perhaps because we have first to pass through the perils of the ocean to reach them, and there is an attraction all their own about these Pendent Globes of the Eastern seas. Their history has been, in the main, uneventful, and yet interesting, because they have been stepping stones for the advance and retreat of two great Oriental Empires, China and japan. Their people are a puzzle, as to their origin. Their manners, customs, and language offer a rich field of investigation to the ethnologist and the student of philology. The temples and other public.
