マルコ=ポーロ卿の記録 : vol.1 |
PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION
On his own account. My brother officer, Major OLIVER
ST. JOHN, R.E., has favoured me with a variety of
interesting remarks regarding the Persian chapters,
and has assisted me with new data, very materially
correcting the Itinerary Map in Kerman.
Mr. BLOCHMANN of the Calcutta Madrasa, Sir
DOUGLAS FORSYTH, C.B., lately Envoy to Kashgar, M.
de MAS LATRIE, the Historian of Cyprus, Mr. ARTHUR
GROTE, Mr. EUGENE SCHUYLER of the U.S. Legation
at St. Petersburg, Dr. BUSHELL and Mr. W. F. MAYERS,
of H. M.'s Legation at Peking, Mr. G. PHILLIPS of
Fuchau, Madame OLGA FEDTCHENKO, the widow of
a great traveller too early lost to the world, Colonel
KEATINGE, V. C., C. S. I., Major-General KEYES, C. B.,
Dr. GEORGE BIRDWOOD, Mr. BURGESS, of Bombay, my
old and valued friend Colonel W. H. GREATHED, C.B.,
and the Master of Media val Geography, M. D'AvEZAc
himself, with others besides, have kindly lent assistance
of one kind or another, several of them spontaneously,
and the rest in prompt answer to my requests.
Having always attached much importance to the
matter of illustrations,* I feel greatly indebted to the
liberal action of Mr. Murray in enabling me largely to
increase their number in this edition. Though many
are original, we have also borrowed a good many ; t-
a proceeding which seems to me entirely unobjectionable
when the engravings are truly illustrative of the text,
and not hackneyed.
I regret the augmented bulk of the volumes. There
* I am grateful to Mr. de Khanikoff for his especial recognition of these in a
kindly review of the first edition in the Academy.
t Especially from Lieutenant Garnier's book, mentioned further on ; the only
existing source of illustration for many chapters of Polo.
