This Seventh Volume tracking the history of Anglo-Japanese relations through leading personalities and significant themes of the day offers a classic menu totalling 47 entries divided into ten sections - opening with three studies of Meiji Era leaders, (all of whom spent time in London) and concluding with the fascinating unpublished memoir of British diplomat Douglas Busk, who records embassy life from just after the bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941 until he and the remaining staff left on an `exchange ship' bound for Lourenco Marques, Mozambique, in July 1942. The other sections of the book are British Politicians; British Officials; Scholars, Writers and Journalists; Scientists; Missionaries; Art; Recreations; Charitable Work. --
