内容概要

Few Victorian travelers considered setting off without a copy of this indispensable book in their baggage. Conceived during a voyage to southwestern Africa in the 1850s, it eventually ran into eight editions; this version was the last to incorporate new material. Quaint, practical, and VERY politically incorrect, this wonderful time capsule reveals how Tibetans keep warm, how the Chinese stop asses braying, how to build a snow house, and a multitude of tried, tested, and now forgotten tips.
