PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION
ments of which the Venetian had not even a rudimentary
on~ p
conception, has spontaneously opened his bountiful stores
p
of new my knowledge in m behalf. Mr. NEY ELIAS,
knowledge
who in p
1872 traversed and mapped a line of upwards
of 2000 miles through the almost unknown tracts of
Western Mongolia, from the Gate in the Great Wall
Mongolia,
at Kalghan to the Russian frontier in the Altai, has
done likewise.* To the Rev. G. MOULE, of the Church
Mission at Hang-chau, I owe a mass of interesting
matter regarding that once great and splendid city,
b
the KINSAY of our Traveller, which has enabled me,
I trust, to effect great improvement both in the Notes
and in the Map, which illustrate that subject. And to
the Rev. CARSTAIRS DOUGLAS, LL.D., of the English
Presbyterian Mission at Amoy, I am scarcely less
indebted. The learned Professor BRUUN, of Odessa,
whom I never have seen, and have little likelihood
of ever seeing in this world, has aided me with zeal
and cordiality like that of old friendship. To Mr.
ARTHUR BURNELL, Ph. D., of the Madras Civil Service,
I am grateful for many valuable notes bearing on these
and other geographical studies, and particularly for
his generous communication of the drawing and photo-
graph of the ancient Cross at St. Thomas's Mount,
long before any publication of that subject was made
* It would be ingratitude if this Preface contained no acknowledgment of the medals awarded to the writer, mainly for this work, by the Royal Geographical Society, and by the Geographical Society of Italy, the former under the Presidence of Sir Henry Rawlinson, the latter under that of the Commendatore C. Negri. Strongly as I feel the too generous appreciation of these labours implied in such awards, I confess to have been yet more deeply touched and gratified by practical evidence of the approval of the two distinguished Travellers mentioned above ; as shown by Baron von Richthofen in his spontaneous proposal to publish a German version of the book under his own immediate supervision (a project in abeyance, owing to circumstances beyond his or my control) ; by Mr. Ney Elias in the fact of his having
carried these ponderous volumes with him on his solitary journey across the Mongolian wilds !
