“A characteristically British presentation of a most interesting and somewhat delicate subject. The vast amount of information which Mr. Landon has collected ... This is not a solemn book altogether.”

“The Tibetan expedition was fortunate to have with it a writer so competent to do justice to its romance, so sympathetic towards Tibetan life, so eagerly inquisitive and retentive of impressions, and above all, the possessor of a style so dexterous and graceful.”

Landor, Arnold Henry Savage. Tibet and Nepal. [*]$5. Macmillan.
“In his book, Mr. Landor tells about a second journey to Tibet. He describes the natives, their costumes, and religion, and the country through which he passes, besides recounting adventures on the way. He has provided numerous colored and black-and-white pictures, being reproductions of sketches made on the spot. These illustrations are portraits of the native men, women, and children, scenery, churches, animals, &c. In the opening chapter the author writes of his preparations for this visit.”—N. Y. Times.
“This odd, unsatisfactory and fascinating essay. The present writer can only say that for his part, he believes his author to be sincere and correct, and one of the pluckiest, truest-hearted and most enterprising men in the world to boot.... One of the cleverest, too, for the drawings in colour and black and white display a very acute artistic sense and an exquisite perception of the beauty and grandeur of mountain scenery.”

“It is difficult to take Mr. Landor seriously, and we find it impossible to follow his tour geographically.”
