Summary

This data collection contains survey information for 127 historians in Japan and 14 historians in England and the United States on their assessments of 40 Meiji statesmen active in the Meiji period in Japan (1868-1912). Part 1 contains data collected from the Japanese respondents, including their rankings of the statesmen on a five-point interval scale (from most important, most influential, to least important, least influential) and a cumulative ranking on a ten-point interval scale. Part 1 also includes biographical information about the interview respondents, i.e., birthplace, year of birth, university of graduation, and field of study. Part 2 contains data collected from the English and American respondents, including their rankings of the Meiji statesmen on the five-point interval scale. For a list of the 40 Meiji statesmen, details of the five ranks, and a description of the criteria for the ten-point interval scale, see Appendices C and D, and Table 16 in Chang, Richard. HISTORIANS AND MEIJI STATESMEN. Gainesville, FL: University of Florida Press, 1970. For a related data collection, see HISTORIANS AND THE TAISHO STATESMEN (ICPSR 7608).
