Title: Hulbert's History of Korea: Complete in Two / II Volumes
Description: London: Routledge & Kegan Paul Limited, 1962. Supplemented Edition. Hardcover. "Homer Hulbert's interest in Korea was first excited when he was 21. It was never dampened until he died in Seoul at 86. His actual residence in that country was shortened to 21 years by his reluctant but painstakingly accurate attack on 'enlightened Japan's imperialism. This period saw him transformed from an inexperienced teacher of 23 in 1886 into an internationally known champion of Korean culture and political integrity of 44 in 1907." - page ED 23.
