About this Item
Nagasaki 1878, Rising Sun Office. Brown brocade cloth, very good, 165p., 15 copper engraved illustrations, 11 x 14.5 cm. FIRST & ONLY VERY RARE SMALL EDITION . *** **** *** . . AN EARLY FOREIGN AUTHOR . . . WRITING ON AN ESOTERIC SUBJECT ABOUT . . . JEWS IN CHINA, COREA AND EAST ASIA . * The author wrote several titles concerning the Jews and their relationship to East Asian & Southeast Asian peoples. . This work very similar in content to the alternate title from 1878 which has a 12 more pages that are not found in this edition. The illustrations remain the same, the one and only difference being the 12 pages, size remains identical, but this edition has the cover title, the other not. . The GUIDE BOOK section is not found in this edition. . Please visit our website for other RARE & OBSCURE titles by this author. . * THE BINDING: The book was bound in both green cloth and brown brocade cloth. The green cover has "JAPAN AND THE LOST TRIVES OF ISREAL BY N. MCLEOD" gold stamped on the cover, obviously this is NOT the title of the book though wrongly so imprinted. The title page of both copies are identical as are the contents. The size varies, but only in the amount of or lack of margin area. . * COPPER ETCHINGS The book was illustrated with copper etchings, a very unusual and rare technique of the time. . * DEDICATION: Dedicated to the Rev. William Mackenzie. The author spent much time in researching & observing the Japanese to provide a description of their early origins from the Jewish people. Covering the Jewish race or Samurai of Jimu Tenno, with proofs of their identity with lost Israel and Shinto faith. Final battle of Gog & Magog. Saga insurrection, Japanese code of morals for women, Christianity, pedigree of the Princes of the Jin Dia or Jewish Race. Jin Dai or ancient characters of Nineveh and Babylon. Sanjo or, no Jinji or sacred emblems of foreign rule. Grave of the Emperors, Princes, Daimyos & Samurai. With an Abridged Guide book of Japan. . *** THE AUTHOR'S IDEA OF RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN JEWS, COREANS, JAPANESE, MALAYANS, FORMOSANS &c: An extremely unusual work, covering what the author felt was the deep background of the Japanese & Coreans as coming from the ancient Jews. The writer has supported his theory with substantial research work and lucid logic! But got strange results ! . How Ainu's and Malay are diminutive race of Jews. Formosan War, agriculture and minerals, et al. . It was the author's firm belief, that he had discovered part of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel in Koreans and the Japanese."at intervals resuming business to provide the needful for this purpose." . *** THE AUTHOR'S BACKGROUND: Mr. N. McLeod was a Scotsman who went to Japan in the 1870's as a bookkeeper at the Scottish Hong of Findlay Richardson & Co., Ltd. They went bankrupt then the author started a business of his own in Kobe & Osaka, living in the Osaka Foreign Concession. He became a missionary and abandoned his commercial enterprise for "travel and researches." . * LIFE AS A MISSIONARY IN JAPAN: He became a preacher and pamphleteer, sparing neither his body, his purse, nor his mind, in the presentation of "proof" that the Koreans were descended from Japhet and the Japanese from the last king of Israel. To that end he spent his entire savings on research and the publication of several books on these subjects. . * A VERY FASCINATING BOOK: His books reflect in some cases a single sentences of 606 words, unorthodox spelling and queer punctuation, with strange notions of English grammar. Some works also contain an autobiographical account of the trials and tribulations which beset him in the pursuit of a literary career, and declarations of his own faith and beliefs in his bizarre theory. . * In one of his works, he declared:".this present edition which is only a small one, may meet with as good and ready a sale as it predecessors." . * The book is fascinating, with hardly a dull page, the lost tribes of Israel keep turning up in the most un.
