다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

I found it at my uncle's (who is the grandson of the autho Jai-chull Chung) in Tong-Koo-Mi. Suh-Myon when I took a summer vacation trip to Wool-lung Island to collect hidden folksongs in the year 1967.
The main points of conclusion are as below.
1. This $quot;Ka-Sa$quot; is not a rolled paper but a rare volume of copy written in $quot;Han-Kul$quot; the original Korean characters.
2. This is one of the early works wich dealt with Wool-lung Island as a subject matter of literature, and it was written 14 years after 1878. the year of The King Ko-Chong's $quot;The royal reclamationcommand$quot; was issued.
3. As for author's family lineage there were many famous and distinguished persons among his ancestors in the early days of Lee-dynasty, but after the chaotic government of The King Kwang Hai, they mainly engaged in teaching local disciples.
4. The Author was born at Kang-Suh-Myon Wol Sung Koon North Kyong San Province on the 5th, august, 1835, died at Tong-Koo -:1~Ii. Suh ~1~Iyon Wool lung Island on the 22nd June 1896. He was 62 years old.
5. I estimated that He wrote it during the winter of 1892, at that time his age was 58.
6. Sool-Hoe-Ka is a long one and He described his own life and experiences in it.
7. I've researched it by dividing it into 16 paragraphs, and I recognized that it describes excellently not only natural beauty but on account of a trip.
8. From the total statistics through analysis of syllabic metre, I found, that the $quot;Ka-sa$quot; was based on the 3.4 syllabic metre or 4.4 syllabic metre.
9. There are very good materials for etymological study of place name in Wool-lung Island.
