This book consists of the impressions of Japan of a keen observer, a scholar, and a remarkable master of language. “The charm of M. Couchoud,” says Monsieur Anatole France, “lies in that rare power to evoke ancient or distant facts which is the faculty of a Renan and a Ferrero, and which touches history with the interest of a living spectacle.” The book contains a long and highly characteristic introduction by Monsieur Anatole France, which has never been printed in French.

Morning Post.—“The sketches are particularly attractive, both in subject and expression, and all are faithfully reproduced.... Altogether this is a delightful volume, chastely bound in green and brown-toned linen.”
Evening Standard.—“A delightful sketch book.... His adventures are told in breezy, unofficial style.”
Observer.—“Mr. Maxwell’s receptive eye and delicate hand.”
Outlook.—“His illustrations are eloquent of the fascinations of the ancient East ... makes interesting reading.”
Daily Telegraph.—“Mr. Donald Maxwell’s previous book, ‘The Last Crusade,’ was a happy mixture of art and literature dealing with Palestine, and his new volume, ‘A Dweller in Mesopotamia,’ is, we think, even a happier combination, for while the art is as true and as excellent as ever, the descriptions of the people he met and the adventures he experienced are more vivid, varied, and entertaining.... The book will be treasured by those who value good artistic work and racy description.”
