Item Details

Description

Narrative of the Expedition of an American Squadron to the China Seas and Japan.

Performed in the Years 1852, 1853, and 1854, under the Command of Commodore M. C. Perry, United States Navy, by Order of the Government of the United States.

Commodore M. C. Perry. First Edition. Published by Congress of the United States, Washington (1856) . Originally issued in 3 volumes, this one being Volume 2 (lacking the other two volumes). Rebound in calf, the boards are now completely rubbed and worn, and the binding is cracked. The front boards are detached with the rear board mostly detached. This volume is profusely illustrated with chromolithographs, plates, and large fold out maps. 11.75" x 10".

In March of 1852, Perry was appointed commander of a naval expedition to Japan, with orders to induce the Japanese government to enter into diplomatic relations with the United States. Perry believed that the only way to force Japan to abandon her isolationist foreign policy was through a display of superior naval force. After his entry into Araga Harbor on July 8, 1853, the Japanese were eventually compelled to accept a treaty stipulating better treatment of shipwrecked seamen and opening the ports of Hakodate and Shimoda. The most significant result, however, was that Perry's visit contributed to the collapse of the feudal regime and to the subsequent modernization of Japan.

This item comes with a Certificate from John Reznikoff, a premier authenticator for both major 3rd party authentication services, PSA and JSA (James Spence Authentications), as well as numerous auction houses.
