Description
Excerpt from Central Asia and Tibet, Vol. 1: Towards the Holy City of Lassa
Dr. Stein is to be congratulated upon having exposed the scandalous fabrication of ancient mss. Which for a time went on wholesale in Khotan. Fortunately he discovered it before more serious or more mischievous results were able to ensue.
I ought perhaps to state that the reasons why I so seldom advert to the travels of my predecessors and contemporaries in the same parts of the world have not been either forgetfulness or want of due recognition of them; but simply because my own materials have been so voluminous that the requisite space has been wanting.
