Isabella Bird Bishop Korea and Her Neighbors

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. I have been honored by Mrs. Bishop with an invitation to preface her book on Korea with a few introductory remarks. Mrs. Bishop is too well known as a traveler and a writer to require any introduction to the reading public, but I am glad to be afforded an Opportunity Of indorsing the conclusions she has arrived at after a long and intimate study Of a people whose isolation during many centuries renders a description Of their character, institutions and peculiarities, especially interesting at the present stage of their history.
