Excerpt from On the Outskirts of Empire in Asia
The object and scope of the present volume are set forth at sufficient length in the opening chapter, and no further explanation on this score is required from me here. With regard to arrangement, it has been my endeavour to place before the public an account of some of the less accessible countries of Asia and of the problems to which their existence and present position give rise, which may appeal equally to the general reader and to the student of Eastern questions. With this object in view I have caused to be inserted a number of illustrations, reproductions in every case of photographs taken by myself, in the hope that they may prove of assistance to the reader in forming a mental picture of the countries and peoples that I describe. The countries through which I passed being many and various, I have divided the volume into sections, each one of which may be read without reference to the others.
