ABSTRACT
Brevity must be my aim, but this is hardly possible when it is absolutely necessary to go back to the Creation, and the country's authentic history is as old as our own.
It seems highly probable that the Japanese are really dee.cended through the Ohinese from the early Turanian inhabitants of Babylonia, who were Accadians, or highland shepherds. Their astronomy, language, and habits have all been recognised as similar, and there are striking resemblances in their persons, especially the black hair, short and thicksetedness, and slanting eye.
