Item description from seller

First Edition, published simultaneously with the London edition, 8vo, pp. viii, [2], 399, [1]; double-page map, text illustrations; full brown cloth, red morocco label on spine, t.e.g.; edge of label rubbed, lower hinge starting, slightly cocked, very good. William Rockhill was a American career diplomat. During a brief break in his diplomatic service he made two scientific expeditions to Mongolia and Tibet in 1888 and 1891. "His journeys, directed into eastern and southern Tibet, regions difficult to traverse but rich for geographical and ethnographical observations, produced a variety of valuable reports and works on the then secluded and little-known country." (DAB) Yakushi, Catalogue of Himalayan Literature, R284.
