Hepburn Romanization, etc.

I have changed the material on this to bring it into line with the more accurate information on on this topic in the article on Hepburn Romanization. I also expanded and corrected the information on his dictionary (of which I have a copy) and the historical info, largely based on the Meiji Gakuin pages.JimBreen 11:02, 26 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
