Through this present rare work, the author has tried to portray the higher interest on the subject which has induced him to attempt to produce information of a more elevated character, intended to satisfy, in some respects at least, the wishes of the Geologist, Botanist, Ethnologist, and other scientific scholars, who invariably expect to find in an account of a new country materials likely to extend their circle of their favorite study, or strengthen the truths on which it is founded. The writer took a journey through and describes the Asiatic domains of the Russian Empire. The first account of his journey was published in 1858 in "Oriental and Western Siberia: A narrative of seven years exploration." The substance of his travel and exploration in the 1850’s on the frontiers of Russia and China that included Siberia, the river Amur, and the Lakes Balkash and Baikal: then known as the Krighis steppes. The subject matter of the book is good. It contains a map and numerous illustrations to generate more interest amongst readers and researchers.
