Hardcover. small 8vo. pp. xxxi, [1], 574, [2]ads. with half-title. 2 folding maps, frontis. portrait, 14 plates (1 folding), & numerous text illus. original cloth (discolouration to upper spine). Hooker's account, first published in 1854, is considered a "minor classic of nineteenth-century travel literature." (Dict. of Scientific Biography) Hooker spent three years (1847-50) engaged in botanical exploration and topographical surveying in the eastern Himalayas (he was practically the first explorer of the region since Turner's embassy to Tibet in 1789), and another year travelling in eastern Bengal and the Khasi Mountains. Not only was the expedition full of adventure - in Sikkim Hooker was imprisoned for several weeks by the raja, but it also met with great success and brought back important results. Hooker's survey of hitherto unexplored regions was published by the Calcutta Trigonometrical Survey Office, and his botanical observations formed the basis of elaborate works on the rhododendrons of the Sikkim Himalaya and on the flora of India. cfCasey Wood p. 390.
