Full of Typographical Errors
★☆☆☆☆
This is an important record and normally a good read, but unfortunately this new edition from Stone Bridge Press is full of typographical errors. The mistakes, which appear at a rate of one every ten or so pages, include "ixth" where it should be "sixth" and "au" instead of "an." I've never seen a book in print with this many typos. Shame on Stone Bridge for failing to proofread.
素晴らしいかつ有名な幕末の記録
★★★★★
この本は貴重な幕末の記録として大変お勧めである。主にサトウ自身の日記（ジャーナル）に基づいたものである。さらにその続きとして、2009年9月にA Diplomat in Japan, Part II: The Diaries of Ernest Satow, 1870-1883が小生の編集によって初めて出版された。尚、英国公文書館（National Archives of the U.K.)に保管されているサトウ文書（Satow Papers)の一部を紹介している小生のその他の本は下記に書いてある。
Sir Ernest Satow based this book mainly on his personal diaries of the period 1861-69. He began writing it in Bangkok in the 1880s and completed it in 1919 during his retirement in England at the urging of relatives. We can all thank his family for persuading him to complete this account and have it published in 1921. As a record of the experiences of one foreigner in a privileged position during the Bakumatsu period, interpreting between the British Ministers and the Japanese Government as well as the influential Satsuma and Choshu clans, it remains an unsurpassed classic.

「真実」の記録、 「編集」 の重要点が認識できる
★★★★☆
幕末から日本国へいたる期間において、外交官である筆者が日本で接した大きな歴史的・出来事、明治期にさらに精力的な活動家が多く記されている。
大半である庶民の風習・風俗、及び生活、同時代意識はあまり記されていない事が残念ではあるが、遠方から筆者の遭遇した当時のJapanという島での違和感がある所などは大変参考になる。

この本から、全国に分かれていた諸藩から、寡頭体制へと移行していく過程が、再帰的に、浮かび上がらり輝きと鋭さを持っている。
