viii PREFACE
Likewise, in my recommendations for the future, I may
often be in error in detail, but in the main conclusion of
substituting intimacy for isolation and effecting the change
by personality, I would fain believe I shall prove right.
What I say has no official inspiration or sanction,
for I have left the employment of Government, and
am seeking to serve my country in fields of greater
freedom though not less responsibility ; but, in compiling
the narrative of our relations with the Tibetans, I have
made the fullest use of the four Blue-books which have
been presented to Parliament. These contain information
of the highest value, though in the very undigested form
characteristic of Parliamentary Papers. Beyond personal
impressions I have added nothing to them, but merely
sought to deduce from them a connected account of events
and of the motives which impelled them. To Sir Clement
Markham's account of Bogle's Mission and Manning's
Journey to Lhasa, to Captain Turner's account of his
Mission to Tibet, and to Perceval Landon's, Edmund
Candler's, and Colonel Waddell's accounts of the Mission
of 1904, I am also indebted, as well as to Mr. White,
Captain Bailey and Messrs. Johnston and Hoffman for
photographs.
I lastly desire to acknowledge the trouble which
Mr. John Murray has so kindly taken in correcting the
proofs.
FRANCIS YOUNGHUSBAND.
September 7, 1910.
P.S.—Too late to make use of it, I have received the
just published reprint from the T'sung Pao of Mr. Rock-
hill's "The Dalai Lamas of Lhasa and their Relations to
the Manchu Emperors of China." The conclusion of this
famous authority on Tibet, that the Tibetans have no desire
for total independence of China, but that their complaints
have always been directed against the manner in which
the local Chinese officials have performed their duties, is
particularly noteworthy.
