It is hardly necessary to add that the material then used is presented here in a considerably expanded and more detailed form, except as regards the illustrations, the number of which had unfortunately been drastically curtailed owing to their high cost of reproduction. This last factor is also responsible for the unavoidable but regrettable omission of the proper Sino-Japanese equivalents for the romanised names and titles in the text. A word of explanation abut the title may not be out of place. Strictly speaking it is not pedantically accurate, as the Netherlands East India Company was not formed until 1602, and it was not until seven years later that one of its vessels reached Japan. The Company was dissolved in 1798, but in so far as Japan was concerned it may be regarded as having continued down to the end of the Napoleonic period, since the Japanese government and officials continued to treat the Hollanders in Japan as representatives of the once all-powerful Company. But even if the dates given do not coincide exactly with the lifetime of Jan Compagnie, they give an adequate idea of the period when Dutch influence was most strongly felt. From the time of Von Siebold onwards the Hollanders served, from a cultural standpoint, more as a channel of communication between the outer world and Deshima than the fountain-head and source of Western knowledge in Japan. This book can hardly be expected to appeal to the general reading public, and it is intended only for those who possess at any rate a working knowledge of the broad outlines of Japanese history. It is hoped however that the earnest student of things Japanese - in no matter what respect - will find something of particular interest in one or other of the chapters, which taken as a whole cover a great deal of hitherto untrodden ground. " excerpt from the preface by Charles Ralph Boxer.

Good condition overall.; "Nearly twenty years ago, I published a little work on similar lines entitled As viagens de Japão e os seus Capites-Mores, 1550-1640, reprinted from the serial publication Boletim Eclesiastico da diocese de Macao, July-October, 1941. Being printed in a limited edition by the Salesian Press in Macao during the war years, it naturally had an equally limited circulation, and was out of print by the end of the war. The commemoration of the fourth centenary of Macao in 1955 provided an excuse for re-writing it in a greatly expanded form. In the 1941 publication (which was in Portuguese), the first part comprised only sixteen pages, the documents in the second part occupying the remaining fifty-six. It is therefore obvious that this book is not a mere re-hash of my earlier work, but that the opportunity has been taken to include much new material, principally from the archives at Lisbon and Goa. A certain amount of overlapping with two of my previous works, Fidalgos in the Far East 1550-1770 (Hague, 1948) and The Christian Century in Japan 1549-1650 (California and Cambridge, University Press, 1951), was inevitable. I trust however, that I have reduced this to a minimum by treating as briefly as possible such topics in the present book as have been dealt with at greater length in either of the above. Moreover, the three works are complementary rather than competitive. The two former deal chiefly with the political, religious and (for want of a better word) cultural side of the early contacts between Farthest East and Farthest West, whereas the emphasis in the present work is chiefly on the mercantile and maritime aspects of the same theme. The longer and more technical documents in the second part of this book have been left in the original Portuguese, partly because I had not the time (nor, in some aspects, the competence) to translate them, but chiefly because I feel that economic historians would rather consult them in their original form than be compelled to rely on a translation which they had no means of checking." excerpt from the forwword.

One has to read the introduction to make the following useful discovery: 'Readers unfamiliar with Portuguese may care to be reminded that "Fidalgo" is derived from the term "filho d'algo" [or] "son of a Somebody", originally applied to the so-called gentlemen of blood and coat-armour, but here used in the sense of men who were personalities in their own right, however doubtful or obscure their origin may have been'.

A history of seventeenth-century Japan and Siam (present-day Thailand) with a sizable, in-depth Introduction by C. R. Boxer. Charles Ralph Boxer (1904-2000) was a British historian whose specialization was Dutch and Portuguese maritime and colonial history. Boxer was also a chief spy of British army intelligence. Excerpt from the Preface: "This present work has a double object in view. In the first place, it purports to give a critical edition of one of the best sources for the history of seventeenth-century Japan and Siam, to wit, the descriptions of those countries compiled by Francois Caron and Justus Schouten in 1636, and translated into English by Captain Roger Manley twenty-seven years later. For this purpose, the old English edition of 1663 has been reproduced with scrupulous fidelity, and carefully annotated. For the convenience of the ordinary reader, only textual errors have been noted at the foot of the page, and all explanatory notes have been relegated to a separate section at the end. The secondary aim of this work is to help English readers to obtain some notion of the predominant part played by the Dutch East India Company in the Far East at the time, as exemplified in the career of one of its most remarkable servants, Francois Caron.".
