This is the third volume in a series of private letters written by
Sir Ernest Satow (1843-1929) to his close friends. Volume One
comprises his letters to Japanologists William George Aston and
Frederick Victor Dickins. Volume Two consists mainly of letters to
and from John Harington Gubbins who had worked under Satow in
Japan. In this third volume Satow mainly discusses international
law (law of the sea in wartime, Versailles peace treaty etc.) and
the current political situation in the UK and Europe, a far cry
from his East Asian focus on Japan which monopolised Volume One,
and was still evident in Volume Two. (Lord Reay had no experience
of Japan in his distinguished career.) The expert foreword is by
Dr. J.E. Hoare, formerly of H.M. Diplomatic Service and a Teaching
Fellow at S.O.A.S.
