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.
Warenius was a Lutheran, and need not be suspected of being

of Japan_, _Prague_, 1675, by Mathia Tanner, containing many
engravings of the horrible scenes, such as burnings, crucifixions,

Martyrs du Japon, Crucifie a Nagasaqui le 5 Fevrier, 1597_, par D.
Bouix, Paris, 1862.

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
