Dixon resided in Japan for four years, occupying during that time the Professor of the English Language and Literature's chair in the Imperial College of Engineering, Tokyo. He returned to Scotland in 1880 in order to study for the ministry, and wrote his impressions of Japan in "The Land of the Morning" in which he gives an interesting account of Japan and the Japanese. On March 4, 1882, shortly after the publication of the book, the reviewer of "The Spectator" wrote: "The judgments that the author passes on men and things, on national habits and customs, have all the appearance of reasonableness and impartiality. They lean to the favourable side, nor is this strange, considering the kindness and courtesy which the author almost uniformly met with, even in his remotest journeys. But there is nothing of blind partiality."
