About This Book

The narrative recounts a prolonged expedition into southern Tibet and adjacent Himalayan borderlands undertaken by the author with a small party, describing arduous marches, logistical preparations, and encounters with local peoples and customs. It details capture and harsh imprisonment by Tibetan authorities, including episodes of torture and eventual release, and offers vivid, often illustrated portrayals of mountain scenery, glaciers, lakes, and pilgrim routes. The author supplements travel anecdotes with original surveys, photographs, and sketches, fixes positions of the region's principal rivers and lakes, and appends official documents and an inquiry that corroborate the account and its geographical findings.

"Mr. W. E. Henley is not only steeped to the lips in Byronic poetry, but he has also a very familiar acquaintance with the remarkable characters who formed 'the Byronic set,' and he knows the manners and customs of the Regency epoch to an extent that gives him full mastery of his subject. There is originality in the very form of this edition.

"He manages to give in a few vigorous sentences vivid sketches of the wide circle of Byron's friends and enemies."—Pall Mall Gazette.

 

"The first volume is delightfully handy and the type excellent."

Andrew Lang.

 

"These Byron Letters (Vol. I.) Mr. Henley has annotated as never surely were letters annotated before. His notes provide simply a complete series of little biographies—miniature biographies with such vital selection, such concise completion without dry-as-dustness—such interest as no other writer but Mr. Henley could compass. It may fairly be said that he has discovered a new art, the art of biographic cameos.... It is safe to say that henceforth the typical edition of Byron can never be separated from these notes. In conclusion, if Byron has waited long for a heaven-sent editor, he has him at last."

Academy.

 

"Mr. Henley, so far as elucidation and illustration are concerned; is fully equipped."—Athenæum.

 

There will also be an Edition, limited to 150 sets for sale
