Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Travels of John Wryland, Being an Account of His Journey to Tibet, of His Founding a Kingdom on the Island of Palti, and of His War Against the Ne-Ar-Bians
Some in this emergency suggested to me the study of law or medicine or some other profession; buti was sick of studying, and wanted, without any more delay, to be able to fill some posi tion in the world. Occupied with books and unused to mix with men, I was en tirely deficient in the art of making friends, and therefore I felt that unless I should display remarkable talents in the profession I should choose I should be doomed, so far as making money went, to failure. I, therefore, deter mined that instead of studying and handling books, I would mix with men and learn to handle them.
