CHAPTER XVII1.
KLAPROTH.
In previous volumes of this work I have often had occasion to mention the magnificent way in which J. KLAPROTH, the great German scholar, has contributed to Europe's knowledge of the geography of Central Asia.'
He has formed an epoch in the history of the scientific study of everything regarding Tibet, especially by the information he brought together from Chinese sources, and there is hardly a single problem of geographical importance, to which he has not contributed in a prominent way. He was the first to prove the existence of a mountain system north of the Tsangpo. He furnished RITTER, HUMBOLDT and other geographers with reliable material, and thus created a solid frame to an understanding, both of the orography and the hydrography of High Asia. He constructed the best map of Central Asia and Tibet which had ever been made since D'ANVILLE'S days a hundred years earlier, and which did not become antiquated for some 40 or 5o years.2

In Vol. VIII, in connection with the Chinese conception of the geography he occupies a prominent place. In some of the following chapters of the present volume his name will often be mentioned as it is also met with at many other places of this work, not particularly quoted in this note.
2 Speaking of the Developement of sinological studies in Europe, RICHTHOFEN has the following words about KLAPROTH :
Ein Deutscher und ein Franzose, Klaproth und Abel-Rémusat, sind als die Begriinder der neuen Richtung zu betrachten. Sie standen auf den Schultern der Gelehrtenschule, welche um die Zeit des Wechsels des Jahrhunderts mit Leistungen von nicht geringer Wichtigkeit hervorgetreten war. Ueber Klaproth's Gedächtnis haben sich wegen der Mängel seines Charakters in den letzten Jahren tiefe Schatten gelegt; an Umfang und Gründlichkeit des Wissens, wie an Fähigkeit zu grossartiger und
