About this title

Synopsis

"...the object of the Editor of this work is to interest American readers, and especially American Christians, in what the French priests call "the land of martyrs." -William Griffis, Corea Without and Within Corea Without and Within (1884) was written at a time of intense American interest in expansion, both cultural and religious. As part of this movement, the author traveled extensively in Asia. To share what he had learned about Korea in particular, Griffis combined a reprint of a journal Hendrick Hamel wrote in the 17th century with two chapters that recounted Griffis's own experience with Korean history and culture.
