pp. xiv + 440, Frontispiece, Figures, 76 Illus. In publishing the following account of a journey across Tibet and China, it has been my object to describe in a simple manner all that i did and saw from beginning to end, in the hope that some future traveller may learn, not so much what he ought to do, as what he ought not to do. Those who have experienced the charms of a nomad's life, will, i trust, be once more reminded of happy days of freedom, will sympathise with us in our difficulties, and share the pleasures which they alone can appreciate. Should others, by chance, find some little interest in perusing these pages, and be tempted to.[less]
