Overview

Excerpt from The American Antiquarian and Oriental Journal, Vol. 21: January-November, 1899 The undertaking was beset by dangers, the unknown even more numerous than the known; the way was strange; the people strange, the language strange. Indeed, the sole tie which bound him to the people among whom his fifteen years exploration was spent was the tie of religion, and it is no slight tribute to the reality (at that time) of Buddhism as a religious (and not merely philosophical) system, that for those fifteen years he seems to have been treated, foreigner as he was, with respect, consideration and kindness. Let us briefly follow the route which he and his four com panions took, pausing here and there to mark some of the interesting things he has to tell us.
