Excerpt from From Pekin to Calais by Land

There are two Englishmen at present living in Shanghai who have travelled overland from Europe to China. I was told, when there, that these gentlemen are continually receiving letters from England asking for information relative to the journey from Petersburg to Pekin and vice versa, and in the Gobi Desert and Siberia.

It was mainly owing to this circumstance that I publish these pages, for I fear the general reader will find little of interest in this account of a monotonous pilgrimage through Europe and Asia. I feel that an apology is needed for its publication, and need hardly say that this work does not aspire to the title of a book of travel. It is merely a record of my impressions in the less civilized parts of China, and in that weird and melancholy country, less perhaps from aspect than associations, Siberia.
