Catalogue Note
“A chapter by Dr. Longstaffe (sic) narrates his attempt to climb Gurla Mandhata, and the book is largely illustrated with photographs taken by himself and the author, some of the mountain ones being especially good” (Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland, April 1907, p.458).
