in the light upon this dark nation, and in years to come, when Korea
shall have attained to the full stature of national strength, the names
of Rodgers, Blake, Kimberly, and many others will be held in high esteem
by the people of that country.

This little volume gives just a glimpse into the mode of life, the
habits and customs, the traditions and superstitions, of the Koreans. If
it awakens an interest in the minds of its young readers, and inspires
them with a desire for further knowledge of their cousins in this far
Eastern land, its purpose will be well served.
