| Abstract | Account by H.E.M. James of the exploration of China by James, Francis Younghusband, and Harry English Fulford in 1885-1886. During his service in the Indian Civil Service from 1865 to 1900, James traveled to China in 1885 with Younghusband and Fulford to explore Manchuria and the Changbai Mountains. The account includes much detail on the local peoples and customs, and constitutes an important source of historical information on the region. Also included are appendices on opium, political corruption, and earlier expeditions. |
