Kashmir and Kashghar: A Narrative of the Journey of the Embassy to Kashghar in 1873-74 (Classic Reprint) Paperback -

The region lying immediately beyond the northern frontier of our Indian Empire and comprehensively designated Chinese Tartary, has during the last quarter of a century, from time to time, attracted the attention of Europe, owing to the steady extension of the Russian dominion upon its northern borders. This attention, at no time very fixed upon the mind of the public, received a fresh impetus by the events and issues of that remark able revolution which in 1862 - 63 severed the connec tion of this region from the rest of the Chinese Empire, and in the following years led to the conquest of its southern portion by a successful adventurer from an adjoining principality.
