Excerpt from Across Thibet: Being a Translation of "De Paris Au Tonking a Travers Le Tibet Inconnu" In translating the book into English, I have endeavored to remain as far as possible true to the original meaning but as the work is a very large one, I have taken it upon myself to omit certain passages - chiefly of dialogue, especially in the chapters relating to countries where other travelers had been before.
