Summary "John L. Stoddard's Lectures, Vol. 03 (of 10)" by John L. Stoddard is a travelogue that was likely written in the late 19th to early 20th century. This informative work takes readers on an immersive journey through iconic regions such as Japan and China, aiming to enlighten them on places, cultures, and the historical significance of these areas in a pre-globalized world. At the start of the volume, the author reflects on humanity's evolving relationship with travel, conveying a sense of nostalgia for the age of exploration. The narrative begins with Stoddard’s journey from Canada to Japan, describing the vast landscapes he traverses, including the majestic Rocky Mountains and the modern amenities of the Canadian Pacific Railway. As he embarks on the ocean journey toward Japan aboard the "Empress of Japan," he shares details of the ship's luxuriousness and the challenges posed by a stormy North Pacific crossing. Upon arrival, he eagerly sets foot on Japanese soil, marveling at the local customs and the initial sights of Yokohama, setting the stage for an in-depth exploration of this culturally rich nation.
