Furnished, of course, with letters of introduction to the most distinguished individuals, and with the still more influential recommendation of his own reputation, he was received in full drawing-room style and state from one end of the Union to the other.
Captain Hall had certainly excellent opportunities of making himself acquainted with the form of the government and the laws; and of receiving, moreover, the best oral commentary upon them, in conversation with the most distinguished citizens.

 D5 Basil Hall Chamberlain, Japan, and English-Language Verse
Chamberlain’s The Classical Poetry of the Japanese (London: Trübner, 1880) was the first knowledgeable study of Japanese poetry in a European language, and together with Bashô [Ap] and the Japanese Poetical Epigram (Transactions of the Asiatic Society of Japan.
According to Harmer, the origin of Couchoud’s interest in Japanese poetry (see 19) was Chamberlain’s Bashô; the effect of Chamberlain’s translations on twentieth-century English-language poetry is discussed by Harmer, Hall (A16), Seaver (A17), and Schwartz (A18).
Among Chamberlain’s several other translations from the Japanese is the first English version of the Kojiki (Ap) (Tokyo: Meiklejohn, 1882), and Women and Wisdom of Japan (selections from Onna daigaku), by Kaibara Ekiken (Wisdom of the East Series, London: Murray, 1905).

Basil Hall, R.N., F.R.S. Interesting navigation down the river of Guayquil by means of an operation called kedging—meeting with the American frigate constellation—visit to the galapagos islands—experiments made with captain kater's pendulum—terrapins or land tortoises.
The manner in which we proceeded down the river is so curious, and, as far as I know, so rare, that I shall attempt to make it intelligible even to readers who are not nautical.
The following pages contain an account of the experiments made with an invariable pendulum, placed in my hands by the Board of Longitude, at the suggestion of Captain Henry Kater, F.R.S., the philosopher to whom the scientific world is indebted for this simple method of determining the figure of the earth.
