About the Book:- This discourse is a travelogue which explores lot of avenues on Siberia. The author’s sole object was to sketch the splendid scenery of Siberia, without taking any artistic liberties, preferring nature in her own attractions to snatching a grace within reach of the art. Mine has been a tolerably wide field, extending from Kokhan on the west to the eastern end of the Baikal, and as far south as the Chinese town of Tchin-si, including that immense chain Syan-shan, never before seen by any European, as well as a large portion of the western part of the Gobi, over which Genghis Khan marched his wild hordes toward the west. It is a simple narrative of facts, taken from journals kept with scrupulous care during the whole journey, often under the influence of great fatigue, amid the pressure of numerous difficulties. The subject of the book is good. The illustrations require a word of explanation. These were confined to the inhabitants of Siberia. The elaboration generates a good amount of interest amongst the readers.
