find myself in accord with many opinions emanating
from men of weight in England. The moral aspects
of the matter demand the deepest concern of all
citizens of the predatory states constituting the
"civilised world." That this particular war finds,
even in England, only apologists rather than parti-
sans, must be taken as a sign of progress away from
violence.

In considering polyandry, the peculiar marriage
institution of the Tibetans, I have been led to
point out the dependence of all marital forms upon
property considerations. The special adaptation of
Tibetan unions (of various sorts) to peculiar land-
conditions is, I trust, presented in a manner which
will convince without offending.

Perhaps many of those who may read this book
are less concerned than is the writer about religion
in general. To such it will doubtless seem that the
faith and the works of Mohammedans and Buddhists
are too frequently put in contrast with the corre-
sponding elements in the life of Christendom. And
to some it may seem that this contrast is urged with
prejudice against the religion of our Western world.
But prejudice lies not in the mind of one who be-
lieves, as I do, that all thoughts, acts, and things
are, alike, the creations of one Power. Hence con-
cerning the philosophisings which may be encoun-
tered in these pages only two charges may be held
possible—honest error in the substance and uncon-
scious faults in the treatment.

Among recent works (not given in the bibliography
of Tibet in the Encyclopædia Britannica, ninth edi-
tion), the following may be mentioned as helpful.
