Affair of the Madre de Deus [EPUB ebook] 
A Chapter in the History of the Portuguese in Japan.

The period of Luso-Japanese trade is of interest in more ways than one, and in particular the first decade of the seventeenth century when Japan was being moulded by Tokugawa Iyeyasu and when the country was still open to foreigners regardless of their race or religion. This volume involved considerable research in four languages and most of the information is here presented to the English reader for the first time.
