By SVEN HEDIN.

TRANS-HIIVIALAYA:

DISCOVERIES AND ADVENTURES IN TIBET

With 388 Illustrations and i o Maps.
Two vols. 8vo. 3 os. net.

EVENING STANDARD.—" The great Swede has given his readers a rare treat. . . . A record of such perilous journeying and undaunted experiments as the world has rarely witnessed."

Sir THOMAS HOLDICH in THE WORLD.—" For all lovers of a good story of genuine travel and adventure it will be a most delightful book to read, and the fact that it deals with the hitherto untrodden region of India's great northern water-parting will render it doubly interesting."

WESTMINSTER GAZETTE.   It is certainly a wonderful story that

he has to tell, and few journeys have called for more resource and courage. . . . A hearty welcome will be given to a work of great value from a geographical point of view, and one which to the ordinary reader is full of interest."

OVERLAND TO INDIA

With 308 Illustrations and 2 Maps.
Two vols. 8vo. 3 os. net.

EVENING STANDARD.   The chronicle of these wanderings, com-

piled by a most skilled observer, gifted with an inexhaustible appetite for hard work, with a graphic touch in narration, and an artist's skill and delicacy in using the pencil, constitutes a magnificent addition to the library of travel as well as to the record of patient endurance of hardships."

TIMES.—" The narrative abounds in entertainment, and with his dramatic faculty, his genuine sympathy with all sorts and conditions of men, his happy gift of humour, and his trained observation, Dr. Hedin gives us a welcome and impressive picture of the present condition of things in a country teeming with racial hatreds and religious animosities. . . . Dr. Hedin's dramatic faculty reminds one of Stanley, and like Stanley he has the power of projecting himself into the native mind. But his sympathy with the natives is inspired with a humour that was foreign to Stanley's character, and enables him to succeed in situations where the great African explorer might have had recourse to violence."
