Abstract
THE inspiring volume entitled “The Heart of a Continent,” in which Captain Younghusband gave a straightforward record of ten years' travel in Manchuria, across the Gobi Desert, through the Himalayas, the Pamirs, and Chitral to India, was reviewed at length in these columns in 1896 (vol. liv. p. 130). The present volume has been abridged from the original work, by omitting geographical details which, though of service to geographers and travellers, are not of interest to the general public. The previous book will be published in two parts. The first part, now before us, deals with Captain Younghusband's travels in the Chinese Empire, a chapter on the outlook in Manchuria being added. The second part will describe experiences and impressions obtained during travels in the borderland between British and Russian territory in Central Asia.
