Rear fold-out map in color. "Mr. Scott O'Connor has been described by a critic as the traveller's poet. 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. Vol. 74, No. 1 (Jul. , 1929) , pp. 79-80 (2 pages). This is the second edition in one volume. Rare, especially in DJ. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 384 pages
