However, he also published a history of Korea the year before and much earlier helped James Gale on <em>A concise Dictionary of the Korean Language<\/em> published in Yokohama in 1890.  You can read more about him <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dynamic-korea.com\/print.php?tbl=Opinion&amp;uid=200500010249\">here<\/a> (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.dynamic-korea.com\/photo\/opi050928_1.pdf\">Korean PDF here<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>UPDATE: Fixed English translation.  I certainly didn&#8217;t mean to suggest that Hulbert loved the country more than its people.
