Reseña del libro "Journal of a Tour Through Part of the Snowy Range of the him l Mountains, and to the Sources of the Rivers Jumna and Ganges (Cambridge Library Collection - Travel and Exploration in Asia) (en Inglés)"

Scottish explorer and author James Baillie Fraser (1783–1856) published this account of his Himalayan journey through Nepal and India in 1820. (His 1826 book describing his travels in the lesser-known provinces of Persia is also reissued in this series.) Part I begins with a historical sketch of Nepal, the reasons for the outbreak of war between Nepal and British India in 1814 and the course and consequences of the war. The remainder of the book describes Fraser's travels through previously inaccessible mountainous areas to Jamunotri and Gangotri, the sources of the rivers Jumna and Ganges. Fraser admits in his preface that he is not an expert in any of the fields which would give his account scientific value, but he offers detailed descriptions of villages, temples and 'grand scenery', and of a people 'as they appeared before an intercourse with Europeans had in any degree changed them'.
