Voyage to Corea, and the Island of Loo-Choo is a travelogue written by Basil Hall and originally published in 1820. The book details Hall's journey to Korea and the Ryukyu Islands, also known as Loo-Choo, during his time as a British naval officer. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on Hall's experiences in Korea. He describes the country's landscape, culture, and people, as well as his interactions with local officials and dignitaries. Hall also provides insights into Korean politics and society, including the country's strict social hierarchy and the influence of Confucianism.In the second part of the book, Hall recounts his visit to the Ryukyu Islands, a chain of islands located between Japan and Taiwan. He describes the islands' geography, flora and fauna, and the customs and traditions of the local people. Hall also provides a detailed account of his meetings with the Ryukyu king and his court, as well as his observations on the islands' economy and trade.Throughout the book, Hall provides vivid descriptions of the places he visited and the people he met, as well as his personal reflections on the cultures and societies he encountered. His account offers a unique perspective on Korea and the Ryukyu Islands during the early 19th century, and provides valuable insights into the history and culture of these regions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
