''Documents and Facts Illustrating the Origin of the Mission to Japan'' is a historical book written by Aaron Haight Palmer and published in 1857. The book provides a detailed account of the early attempts made by Christian missionaries to establish a mission in Japan during the mid-19th century. Palmer’s work is based on a collection of primary sources, including letters, reports, and official documents, which provide a unique insight into the political and cultural context of the time. The book covers the period from the first contact between Japan and the West in the 16th century to the arrival of the first American missionaries in the country in the 1850s.The author describes the challenges faced by the missionaries in their attempts to establish a Christian presence in Japan, including the hostility of the Japanese authorities towards foreign religions and the isolationist policies of the Tokugawa Shogunate. Palmer also provides a detailed account of the negotiations that took place between the American and Japanese governments, which eventually led to the signing of the Treaty of Amity and Commerce in 1854.Overall, ''Documents and Facts Illustrating the Origin of the Mission to Japan'' is an important historical document that sheds light on the early attempts to establish a Christian presence in Japan and the complex political and cultural context of the time. It is a valuable resource for historians, scholars, and anyone interested in the history of Japan and the relationship between Japan and the West.Authorized By Government Of The United States, May 10, 1851, And Which Finally Resulted In The Treated Concluded By Commodore M.
