Excerpt from Brown of Moukden: A Story of the Russo-Japanese War My dear Raymond, Last year I wove a romance about the early incidents of the great war now happily at an end; this year I have chosen its later incidents as the background for my heroes adventures. But while in "Kobo" the struggle was viewed from the Japanese stand-pointy in "Brown of Moukden" (which is in no sense a sequel) you will find yourself among the Russians looking at the other side of the shield. It is not the romancer's business to be a partisan; and we British people were at firsts perhaps a little blind to the fact that the bravery the endurance the heroism have not been all on the one side. As a boy preparing for the Navy, you would have liked I dare say, to see jack Brown in the thick of the great naval battle, at Tsushima. But I had three reasons for giving no space to that famous victory. First, jack could not possibly have seen it. Secondly, sea-fights had a very good turn in "Kobo." Thirdly, I hope some day to give you sea-dogs a whole book to yourselves - but that, as Mr. Kipling somewhere says, will be another story. Meanwhile, if you get half as much fun in reading this book as I have had in writing it, I shall count myself very lucky indeed.
