f the Introduction of Christianity into China and Japan_. Fifteen rules to guide the Buddhist priests in guaranteeing the orthodoxy of their parishioners are also given.--_Asiatic Society Transactions_, vol. vi., part i., p. 46. 210 See Gubbins' paper, _Asiatic Society Transactions_, vol. vi., part i., p. 35. 211 See Mr. Satow's contributions to the debate on Mr. Gubbins' paper, _Asiatic Society Transactions_, vol. vi., part i., p. 51. _ 212 Asiatic Society Transactions_, vol. vi., part 1, p. 35. 213 See chapter xi. of a _Description of the Kingdom of Japan and Siam_, by Bernhard Warenius, M.D., Cambridge, Printing-House of John Hayes, Printer to the University, A.D. 1673. The volume is in Latin, which, as well as a translation of the same in manuscript, has been furnished to me by Mr. Benjamin Smith Lyman, of Philadelphia.

See also _History of the Martyrs of Japan_, _Prague_, 1675, by Mathia Tanner, containing many engravings of the horrible scenes, such as burnings, crucifixions, and suspensions in the pit, etc.; also _Histoire des Vingt-six Martyrs du Japon, Crucifie a Nagasaqui le 5 Fevrier, 1597_, par D. Bouix, Paris, 1862. 214 See Woolley's "Historical Notes on Nagasaki," _Asiatic Society Transactions_, vol. ix., part 2, p. 134; also Mr. Satow's contributions to the discussion of Mr. Gubbins' paper, _Asiatic Society Transactions_, vol. vi., part 2, p. 52. Specimens of the metal plates are in the Uyeno Museum of Tokyo. 215 See Kaempfer's _Histoire de l'Empire de Japon_, tome i., p. 287. 216 In the narrative which we give of this insurrection we have relied chiefly upon the accounts of Mr. Gubbins in his "Review of the Introduction of Christianity," _Asiatic Society Transactions_, vol. vi., part 1, p. 36; of Mr. Woolley in his "Historical Notes on Nagasaki," _do._, vol. ix., part 2, p. 140; and on Dr. Geerts' paper on the "Arima Rebellion and the Conduct of Koeckebacker," _do._, vol. xi., p. 51. Mr. Gubbins and Mr. Woolley had access to Japanese authorities, and we have in their papers been enabled to see this bloody episode for the first time from a Japanese standpoint. Dr. Geerts has rendered an invaluable service in
