Tibet and Turkestan : vol.1 |
Citation Information
OCR Text
Mr. W. W. Rockhill's *Land of the Lamas*, M. Gre-
nard's *Le Tibet*, and Mr. Landon's *Opening of
Tibet* are the most important works, in English or
French, bearing on this subject. The recital of
Sarat Chandra Das, an East Indian surveyor who
went to Lhasa some ten years ago, is of value and
is in English. The journeys made by Sven Hedin,
Welby, Deasey, Bowers, Littledale, and Bonvalot
have been also put before the world in instructive
form. The British Blue-books are as a mine of
wealth—but the gold must be separated from the
dross therein, which is bulky and cumbersome be-
cause of the repetitions involved in printing hier-
archical correspondence. The British public chiefly,
and the general reading world beside, have been
already stirred by the revelations contained in the
Blue-books from which considerable extracts appear
in appendices to this volume. The careful reader
will desire to be refreshed concerning his recollec-
tions of these official recitals; hence the rather
lengthy citations.
It is hoped that the Tibetan songs appearing in
an appendix will be appreciated, not only for their
literary value, but also for the intimate view afforded
by them of the characteristics of a people who are
as yet very unfamiliar to us. A considerable collec-
tion of such songs has been made by several of the
Moravian missionaries at Leh. This graceful work,
added to their more serious undertaking, should win
for these noble men a general gratitude.
O. T. C.
Washington, D. C., U. S. A.
September 1, 1905.
