pubOne.info thank you for your continued support and wish to present you this new edition. This book deals chiefly with the author's adventures during a journey taken in Tibet in 1897, when that country, owing to religious fanaticism, was closed to strangers. For the scientific results of the expedition, for the detailed description of the customs, manners, etc., of the people, the larger work, entitled In the Forbidden Land (Harper& Brothers, publishers), by the same author, should be consulted.
