He writes of what he has seen pleasantly, simply, and accurately, but with just that poetic touch, born of sympathy and insight, which places his work in a class of its own. 'The Silken East' is perhaps the best of his works, and has long been appreciated as a leading work on Burma." L. D. S. IN The Geographical Journal.
