Errors in "Fukuzawa Yukichi as a Father: Translations of Letters Written to His Two Eldest Sons While They Were in the United States, 1883-1888", The Hiyoshi Review of English Studies, 62, March, 2013.
To my shame, the introduction and translation contain some errors. My only
excuse is that I was asked to produce the translations for publication
at short notice. I am grateful to Professor Nishizawa Naoko of Keio University
for her help with the parts of the translation that I was unhappy about.
If there are any further errors, the sole responsibility is mine. (If any
reader detects further errors, I would be grateful for you to contact me
at hjb@a8.keio.jp. I will add them to the list and give your name.)
1. p. 5, l. 21: Omit "after which he will wash his hands of him".
2. p. 24, l. 22: Omit "[?]".
3. p. 27, l. 3 - 4: Replace the section after the semi-colon with "for
people to be able to contribute to society they also need to have their
