The database is based on Kokuritsu Kokkai Toshokan zosho mokuroku : Meiji-ki[The National Diet Library Catalog : Meiji Period]. Information on relevant documents extracted from the catalogs of various libraries and from monographs and other research output was also added to the database. The total number of documents cataloged in the database as of the end of fiscal 2011, when this study was finished, is 2, 843.The results of this research make available to students, researchers, and others interested in this field, a significant body of resources showing the enormous role the introduction of Western economics and public finance to late-Tokugawa and Meiji Japan played in Japan's modernization. I have published Economics in Meiji Japan, Collected Works of Western Origin(selected and with an introduction by Prof. Takutoshi Inoue, Kwansei Gakuin University), Pickering & Chatto, PartI(8 vols.), PartII(8 vols.), PartIII(8 vols.), 2009-2012.
