Description

Gain direct access to historical diplomatic records with this volume of the private correspondence between Sir Harry Smith Parkes and Edmund Hammond. As the second British Minister of Japan, Parkes provides a unique perspective through his letters to the permanent Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. This publication presents complete transcriptions of letters exchanged between Parkes and Hammond, as well as Parkes' communications with successors at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Because Hammond was the primary decision maker regarding British relations to Asia, these documents offer a rare look at the high-level discussions shaping international policy during this era. Arranged chronologically, this series covers Parkes' 18 years in Japan. This first volume focuses on the Bakumatsu period, marking the end of the Shogunate. It is an essential resource for historians, researchers, and students studying the history of Great Britain, British diplomacy in Asia, and the transformation of Japan during the 19th century.
