<br/><br/> "My object in writing this book was to correct the erroneous impressions I have found somewhat prevalent - that the Koreans were a semi-savage people. And believing that the object could be accomplished best in displaying the thought, life, and habits of the people as portrayed in their native lore, I have made these translations, which, while they are so chosen as to cover various phases of life, are not to be considered as especially selected." -- from Preface.
