    COINS OF JAPAN
    NEIL GORDON MUNRO
    Originally written in 1905, this volume examines the coins of Japan, especially appealing because of a subtle and impersonal charm which pervades their inscriptions and the sentiments which they set forth. They are written in characters which are a manifest surviva of the picture writing of early man. He wrote, that is to say, scored or scratched, various outline sketches of hi...

    AINU CREED & CULT
    NEIL GORDON MUNRO
    Ainu Creed and Cult was the first detailed account of the Ainu to be written by either a westerner or a Japanese. In this book, Munro's object in writing it was not only to give an account of his careful observations of the people and their customs, but also to demonstrate to the world at large that the Ainu had an independent culture that deserved respect and preservation. ...

    NEIL MUNRO / DUANYI YI

However, as China’s economy has grown, so has its military might, and it is now in a position to challenge America for the leading role in the security of the Western Pacific. This book closely exam...

    ERCHIE MY DROLL FRIEND
    NEIL MUNRO
    Excerpt: "On Sundays he is the beadle of our church; at other times he waits. In his ecclesiastical character there is a solemn dignity about his deportment that compels most of us to call him Mr MacPherson; in his secular hours, when passing the fruit at a city banquet, or when at the close of the repast he sweeps away the fragments of the dinner-rolls, and whisperingly expres...

    THE SHOES OF FORTUNE
    NEIL MUNRO
    Excerpt: "It is an odd thing, chance—the one element to baffle the logician and make the scheming of the wisest look as foolish in the long run as the sandy citadel a child builds upon the shore without any thought of the incoming tide. A strange thing, chance; and but for chance I might this day be the sheriff of a shire, my head stuffed with the tangled phrase and sentiment o...

    THE DAFT DAYS
    NEIL MUNRO
    Excerpt: "The town's bell rang through the dark of the winter morning with queer little jolts and pauses, as if Wanton Wully Oliver, the ringer, had been jovial the night before. A blithe New-Year-time bell; a droll, daft, scatter-brained bell; it gave no horrid alarums, no solemn reminders that commonly toll from steeples and make good-fellows melancholy to think upon things u...

    THE LOST PIBROCH AND OTHER SHEILING STORIES
    NEIL MUNRO
    Excerpt: "To the make of a piper go seven years of his own learning and seven generations before. If it is in, it will out, as the Gaelic old-word says; if not, let him take to the net or sword. At the end of his seven years one born to it will stand at the start of knowledge, and leaning a fond ear to the drone, he may have parley with old folks of old affairs. Playing the tun...

    JOHN SPLENDID THE TALE OF A POOR GENTLEMAN AND THE LITTLE WARS OF LORN
    NEIL MUNRO
    Excerpt: "To read this tale, dear Hugh, without any association of its incidents with the old respectable chronicles of the Historians is what I should wish you could always do. That is the happy manner with Romance; that is the enviable aptness of the child. But when (by the favour of God) you grow older and more reflective, seeking perhaps for more in these pages than they me...

    JAUNTY JOCK, AND OTHER STORIES
    NEIL MUNRO
    Excerpt: "The last of the West Bow balls before Lady Charlotte ran away with her dancing-master was on a dirty evening in November. Edinburgh was all day wrapped in haar, and now came rain that made the gutters run like mountain burns and overflow into the closes, to fall in shallow cataracts to the plain below. There was a lively trade in the taverns. "Lord! there's a sneezer ...
