FIRST EDITION . *** **** *** . . FIRST AND ONLY ORIGINAL EDITION . . . A SUPERB BIOGRAPHY OF AN AMERICAN . . . JAMES CURTIS HEPBURN . * Dr. James Curtis Hepburn [1815-1911]: He was an American physician, translator, educator, and lay Christian missionary. He is known for the Hepburn Romanization system for transliteration of the Japanese language into the Latin alphabet, which he popularized in his Japanese-English dictionary. . A biographical study of the celebrated & famous missionary and teacher in Japan. He graduated from Princeton, and established a university connection to the Japanese, many of which went to that honored institution. He worked to establish a Christian presence in Japan, and was one of the most successful missionaries from America. . Missionary work in Japan: In 1859, Hepburn went to Japan as a medical missionary with the American Presbyterian Mission. After first arriving in Nagasaki in October 1859, Hepburn swiftly relocated to the newly opened treaty port of Yokohama, opening his first clinic in April 1861 at the Sokoji Temple. Initially residing at Jobutsuji in Kanagawa, a dilapidated temple formerly occupied by the Dutch consulate, Hepburn was the first Christian missionary to take up residence close to the newly opened treaty port. Hepburn's family shared accommodation at Jobutsuji with Dutch Reformed minister Rev. Samuel Robbins Brown and all were quickly absorbed into the local foreign community, Hepburn being appointed honorary physician to the US Consul, Townsend Harris. . Hepburn's first clinic failed as the Bakumatsu clownish yellow authorities, wanting the missionaries to relocate to Yokohama, put pressure on patients to stop going to it. In the spring of 1862 Hepburn and his family relocated to the house and compound at Kyoryuchi No. 39, in the heart of the foreigners residential district in the treaty port of Yokohama. There, in addition to his clinic, he and his wife Clara founded the Hepburn School, which eventually developed into Meiji Gakuin University. Hepburn's Japanese pupils included Furuya Sakuzaemon, Takahashi Korekiyo, and Numa Morikazu. . For his medical contributions to the city of Yokohama, Hepburn Hall was named in his honor on the campus of Yokohama City University School of Medicine. . In May 1867, with the collaboration of his long-time assistant Kishida Ginko, Hepburn published a Japanese-English dictionary which rapidly became the standard reference work for prospective students of Japanese. In the dictionary's third edition, published in 1886, Hepburn adopted a new system for Romanization of the Japanese language developed by the Society for the Romanization of the Japanese Alphabet (Romajikai). This system is widely known as the Hepburn Romanization because Hepburn's dictionary popularized it. Hepburn also contributed to the translation of the Bible into Japanese.

In 1871, he was Superintendent of Education in the province of Echizen. In recompense, he was provided with an annual salary of $2,400, a house in Fukui and a horse. . In 1872-74, Griffis taught chemistry and physics at Kaisei Gakko (the forerunner of Tokyo Imperial University). He prepared the New Japan Series of Reading and Spelling Books, 5 vols. (1872). He also published primers for Japanese students of the English language; and he and contributed to the Japanese press and to newspapers and magazines in the United States numerous papers of importance on Japanese affairs. .
