Synopsis
Excerpt from Chinese Central Asia, Vol. 1 of 2: A Ride to Little Tibet
His book is intended to be a companion and complement to my Russian Central Asia. The area covered by the two works extends all across the continent from the Caspian to the Pacific, whilst my Through Siberia deals with the rest of Asia, north ward, to the Arctic Ocean. By Chinese Central Asia is meant that portion of the Celestial Empire lying outside the Great Wall - that is to say, external or extra-mural China; but not all parts thereof are here treated with equal fulness.
In the chapters concerning Chinese Turkistan I have endeavoured to be fairly thorough, if only because we have no standard work treating of this country as a whole. In saying this I do not forget the contributions of Sir Douglas Forsyth, Surgeon General Bellew, and others, to whose valuable reports and writings, published and unpublished, in connection with the Yarkand Missions, I am greatly indebted. Names of other writers also on certain parts of the country, to whom I owe much, are given in the Bibliography.

The author's main objective was to travel as a pioneer and determine what openings existed for qualified evangelists to follow. This book is not merely a travelogue; the authorās experiences allowed him to observe the need, and help in further opening up remote parts of China to the influence of the Gospel. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332162444_0
