Travels In Tartary, Thibet, And China: Volume I & II

Apart from its interest to the general reader the sincere and fascinating account of these travels will be welcome to all persons interested either in Christian missions or Buddhist institutions. The work made a profound sensation. Although China and the other countries of the Orient have been opened to foreigners in larger measure in recent years, few observers as keen and as well qualified to put their observations in finished form have appeared, and M. Hue's story remains among the best sources of information concerning the Thibetans and Mongolians. This edition contains both original volumes one and two.
