possible. The works of Professor Ekholm and Dr Olsson are ready in manuscript
and under printing.
To my above named collaborators I beg to express my warm and sincere
thanks for their never failing patience and interest.
It has been of invaluable help and advantage to me to be allowed to apply
to the State Librarian Dr E. W. Dahlgren, whose profound knowledge of the
history of cartography, and of the geographical discoveries, is appreciated and
acknowledged over the whole geographical world. Dr Dahlgren has called my at-
tention to many of the older maps, reproduced in chapters XIX—XXIV, and he has
obtained for me a great number of the original geographical documents referred to
in the same chapters. He has also been kind enough to peruse this part of my
work in order to guard me from eventual errors. By so doing, he has inspired me
personally with a feeling of security, when I now venture to submit also these carto-
graphically historical chapters to the judgment of the learned world.
From India Office, I have as a loan got some precious unpublished manuscripts
quoted in the first chapter, and also a couple of maps reproduced in the second
volume. In connection herewith, the Librarian in the said office, Dr F. W. Thomas,
has given me some good advices and informations.
The wellknown German sinologue, Dr Albert Herrmann, has had the amability
to peruse the proofs of the Chinese chapters VI—XII in the first volume and, at the
same time, he has established a uniform and consistent spelling. He also took the
opportunity, on this occasion, to give me several good hints and new ideas.
Chapter XIII, in which Tibetan works are treated, has been read in proof by
Dr Albert Grünwedel, who also has drawn my attention to a couple of works un-
known to me.
Dr Gilbert T. Walker has supplied me with the tables indicating the quantity
of rain for India, reproduced in chapter XXVI of the second volume, before their
being printed.
I am indebted to the director of the Royal Library at Berlin, Professor Dr
H. Meisner, for several of the German maps reproduced in the third volume, which
are kept in the cartographical institute of the same library, and some of which are
unique hand drawings of Klaproth and Ritter.
General O. E. von Stubendorff of St. Petersburg, and Commander Roncagli
of Rome, have given me some valuable suggestions regarding Russian and Italian
travellers.
Lastly, Professor Chavannes of Paris has placed at my disposal the Chinese
