    Preface<\/h3>\n

    During some fifteen years of missionary life in Japan, I have sent home letter-leaves from my Journal.<\/p>\n

    Friends have urged me to give them a wider circulation; and so after much misgiving I have consented, hoping that my readers will remember the haste in which they have been written.
