Item description from seller

Translated from the French by W. Hazlitt. London: Office of the National Illustrated Library, 1850s. 8vo. Volume I: 293pp + 1pp publisher's advertisements. 50 wood engravings in text, frontispiece, folding map. Volume II: 304pp + publisher's advertisements as endpapers. 50 wood engravings in text, frontispiece. Original mustard embossed cloth, gilt spine. Very good. Huc, a French missionary, describes his journey into Tibet in Volume 1. From Preface: "They made their way through difficulties which nothing but religious enthusiasm in combination with French elasticity could have overcome, to Lha-Ssa, the capital of Thibet, and in this seat of Lamaism were becoming comfortably settled, with lively hopes and expectations of converting the Talé-Lama into a branch-Pope, when the Chinese Minister, the noted Ke-Shen, interposed on political grounds, and had them deported to China. M. Gabet was directed by his superiors to proceed to France, and lay a complaint before his Government, of the arbitrary treatment which he and his fellow Missionary had experienced.".
