 Collected Works of F.V. Dickins - Introduction   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-05)
When the Asiatic Society of Japan was founded in 1872, Dickins was one of the founder members, along with Ernest Satow, who was later to achieve fame both as a japanologist and a diplomat and who remained in correspon-dence with Dickins for most of his life.
Satow was not convinced: he allowed that Dickins’s system was more economical and more practical ‘for books intended merely to teach colloquial’, but maintained that ‘for persons who study the written language the kana spelling is the most convenient’, and himself spelled Õsaka ‘Ohosaka’ to reflect the current kana usage.
Of his letters, those to Satow are in the PRO, some to Karl Pearson are among the Pearson Manuscripts at University College, London, and some of his correspondence with Minakata Kumagusu is said to be at the Minakata Kumagusu Kinenkan at Shirahama in Wakayama prefecture.
