The Mission was under orders to halt on the frontier till joined by Yakub Khan Tora, the Kashghar Envoy to the Viceroy of India. Yakub Khan, after completing the preliminaries of the commercial treaty which he was sent to negotiate, proceeded to Constantinople, where it was arranged with the Sultan's government to declare Kashghar a protected state of Turkey, with Muhammad Yakub Khan (known as the Atalik Ghazi) as ruler, under the title of Amir. The Envoy found the formalities of the Sultan's court sadly against quick despatch, of business, and his departure for the return journey was delayed considerably beyond his calculations and our plans. The progress of the camp from Rawal Pindi, where it was organised, was slow; the halts were long, pending definite orders, which depended entirely on the return of the Kashghar envoy. Our feeling of suspense during all that time of doubt was painful, and our delight was great when we were secured against bitter disappointment; for had the envoy not come back when he did, we would probably have lost for a time the opportunity of visiting Eastern Turkistan and exploring the Pamirs. Yakub Khan succeeded, however, by dint of good arrangements and hard travelling, in reaching Shahidulla on the 23d of October. We were overtaken on the 3d, at Tagar, in the Nubra...

Excerpt from The Roof of the World: Being the Narrative of a Journey Over the High Plateau of Tibet to the Russian Frontier and the Oxus Sources on Pamir My book, however, makes no pretension to be in any way a record of scientific exploration: it merely relates what fell under every-day observation, with the addition of occasional information gathered here and there as we travelled. The idea of my writing it was suggested by my sketches forming such a. Complete series from the Indus to the Oxus as to merit pub lication simply on the ground of representing to a very great extent life and scenery never before pictured. In considering the form of descriptive text to accompany the sketches, I decided on that of a narrative as better calculated to give interest to the work.

Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers.
