These are the edited (i.e. transcribed, annotated and indexed) diaries of the diplomat Sir Ernest Satow (1843-1929) for the six and a half years during which he was posted to Montevideo (Uruguay) and then Morocco. Throughout the period his ultimate goal was promotion to Minister in Japan, which he achieved in 1895. He had served previously in Japan as a consular official from 1862 to 1869 and from 1870 to 1883, then in Siam from 1884 to 1888 where he gained promotion to the diplomatic service. This edition includes a Foreword by diplomatic historian Professor T.G. Otte. The original diaries are in the National Archives (UK).
