Abstract
SIR FRANCIS YOUNGHUSBAND is one of the great Asiatic explorers, for he was almost the first to cross Central Asia from Pekin to India, the first to traverse the Mustagh and other high passes in the north-western Himalaya, and was in later years head of the British expedition to Lhasa. The effect of his new book should be to inspire many of the coming generation with his passion for exploration, and especially for investigation of the unsolved problems of the Himalaya. The volume is a popular narrative of four of his early journeys, made when he was a subaltern in the King's Dragoon Guards. Life in that regiment did not satisfy him.
