The Indians on board lived very much in cliques, just as they do in their own country, and with few exceptions there was but little general interchange of ideas amongst themselves. Curiously enough, the connecting link was to be found in the English population on board, who mixed with them all good-humouredly. That it is possible for East and West to meet on equal terms, and to dine in the same room if not at the same table, and to get on happily in daily intercourse, was proved by the pleasant way in which, within the narrow limits of a ship's second-class quarters, everybody managed to pull together. It was also a satisfactory feature of this medley of races and religions that the only person for whom there was no place, and who finally got sent to Coventry, was an Englishwoman who professed to be a theosophist.

The author writes out of the fulness of personal knowledge and observation, with no other object than that of telling truly what he knows, and describing with fidelity what he has seen."—The Scotsman.

"We ought to read and remember all that Sir Bampfylde Fuller says of the history, the geography, the weather, and the peoples of India; to have some idea of the different religions and the numbers of their adherents, of the Caste system and village communities, of domestic life and agricultural methods; and to know what causes famine, what famine and famine relief means, how commerce thrives in India, how the people is governed and educated, and whence the revenue is derived. All these things are briefly set forth in these studies by one who spent his life in the Government service, and who neither in his views nor his sympathies can be accused of hide-bound officialism."—World.

"The expedition to Lhasa six years ago has already had three historians, but Sir Francis Younghusband's work is invested with a special value which none of its predecessors can claim. He was the responsible leader of the Mission of 1904, and what he has to say about it, and about the circumstances which led to its despatch, bears the stamp of final and indisputable authority ... a full and balanced account of the political aspects of the Tibetan problem, the motives which led to the unveiling of Lhasa, the results of the Mission, and the questions which still await solution. His book, therefore, constitutes the most important contribution yet made to the growing store of literature about Tibet."—Times.
