Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Visit to Japan in 1860 in the U. S. Frigate Hartford and a Return From China by the Frigate Niagara to Aden and Thence Via the Red Sea and Europe to the United States
We left Nagasaki this morning at eight o'clock, and have been running all day under sail and steam, having made, say, one hundred miles. We are bound to Kanagawa, but instead of going outside along the northeast coast, we steer west for one hundred and fifty miles, and then enter a narrow inland sea, and proceed east toward our point. We go this way because no ship of war has yet been through; also, because there are one or two important cities to see, and perhaps touch at, on the way; and also, because 'tis said to excel in the beauty of its scenery, any other.
