1896. The papers composing this volume treat of the inner rather than of the outer life of Japan, for which reason they have been grouped under the title Kokoro (heart). Written this word signifies also mind, in the emotional sense; spirit; courage; resolve; sentiment; affection; and inner meaning, just as we say in English, 'the heart of things'. Partial Contents: At a Railway Station; Genius of Japanese Civilization; After the War; A Glimpse of Tendencies; By Force of Karma; Conservative; In the Twilight of the Gods; Idea of Preexistence; Some Thoughts About Ancestor Worship; Kimiko.
