Crosby, Oscar Terry. Tibet and Turkestan: a journey through old lands and a study of new conditions. **$2.50. Putnam.
The journey of exploration thru central Asia made in 1903 by Mr. Crosby in company with Capt. Ferdinand Anginieur of the French army furnishes much of the material for his “stirring tale of adventure and still more stirring record of wrongs.... [He] tears off with pitiless hand the thinly decent covering which ‘political necessity’ threw over the Lhasa affair, and exposes that affair in its naked simplicity.” The book is fully illustrated.

“We cannot rate Mr. Crosby’s book high, although we can readily understand that it may be useful and informing to the American reader.”

“A book at once readable and disappointing.”
