Recollections Of Life In The Far East (1894) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781165523535)

Recollections of Life in the Far East is a memoir written by William Shepard Wetmore in 1894. The book is a personal account of the author's experiences and observations during his time in the Far East, particularly in China and Japan, during the late 19th century. Wetmore was an American diplomat and businessman who spent several years in Asia, where he became well-acquainted with the local culture and customs. In his memoir, he provides a detailed description of the social, economic, and political conditions of the region during that time, as well as his personal interactions with the people he encountered.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a different aspect of life in the Far East. Wetmore discusses topics such as Chinese and Japanese customs, religion, education, and the role of women in society. He also describes his travels throughout the region, including his visits to various cities and landmarks.Throughout the book, Wetmore provides a unique perspective on life in the Far East during the late 19th century. His observations and insights offer readers a glimpse into a world that is vastly different from the modern era, and his memoir remains a valuable historical document for anyone interested in the history of Asia or the experiences of Westerners living in the region during that time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
