"Mr Elwin has written a book of singular merit, and as compared with most of the many books about India, of quite unusual value. It is what Carlyle would have called a sincere book....

"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.
