Editorial Review
This historical volume is about the Japanese naval hero, Admiral Togo, and is from 1905.
Fleet Admiral Marquis Tōgō Heihachirō, OM, GCVO (1848-1934) was a Fleet Admiral in the Imperial Japanese Navy and one of Japan's greatest naval heroes. He was termed by Western journalists as the 'Nelson of the East'.*
....* from Wikipedia
From the Preface:
For the imperfections of the present volume
I can only plead that I hope it may prove to be
a first edition, and that further studies and the
publication of more detailed information may
enable me at some future time to complete, or at
least to elaborate, the biography of a great man
in whom the whole world is interested.
The modest and retiring life which Admiral
Togo has hitherto lived has made it difficult for
the biographer to collect many picturesque incidents
relating to his early years. But modesty is one
of the greatest of virtues, and that he has always
exhibited this virtue in so conspicuous a manner
seems to be one of the elements which make the
greatness of his character.
Arthur Lloyd
