Excerpt from Pioneering in Tibet I do remember, however, our arrival in Kansas, when my father, who had gone through in a wagon, came down to meet my mother and us two children. Fred was then just a baby. We lived near Pawnee, in Bourbon County, where I first started to school. After two years there we moved out to Harper County, down by Ruella, where we lived for some five years. During these years I went to school to different teachers. The first school which I attended was taught by one of the home girls, who was only about sixteen years old. She had in school five or six boys who were about ten or eleven years old and who, knowing her so well, were rather hard to control. One day she had told us we were not to go near the creek, which was near the schoolhouse, but five of us slipped off and went in swimming. Time passed very much more rapidly than we had thought during the noon hour, and the first intimation that it was over was seeing her standing on a little rise about one hundred yards from the creek and ringing the bell.

Excerpt from The Great Closed Land: A Plea for Tibet It is a far cry - more than 2000 miles - from the Moravian stations among the Tibetan Buddhists of Ladak to the places on the Chinese frontier whence agents of the China Inland Mission are seeking to touch and bless the Eastern Tibetans. A heart-stirring narrative of pioneer toils and trials will be found on pages 84 to 98, and Miss Annie Marston has scarcely given space enough to the noble work done by Mr. Cameron, and by her own sister and her brother-in-law. To Mr. And Mrs. Cecil polhill-turner it has been given in behalf of Christ, not only to believe on Him (and to speak of that saving faith to the Tibetans in their own language), but also to suffer for His sake. Between these extreme posts of the cordon, other Christian missionaries are to be found at points along the borders of Tibet. While serving among the natives of North India, the Agents of the London Missionary Society at Almora, and of the Church of Scotland at Darjiling, have endeavoured to reach the Tibetans by work among the border tribes.

Among Asian languages, Tibetan is second only to Chinese in the depth of its historical record, with texts dating back as far as the eighth and ninth centuries, written in an alphabetic script that preserves the contemporaneous phonological features of the language. The Classical Tibetan Language is the first comprehensive description of the Tibetan language and is distinctive in that it treats the classical Tibetan language on its own terms rather than by means of descriptive categories appropriate to other languages, as has traditionally been the case. Beyer presents the language as a medium of literary expression with great range, power, subtlety, and humor, not as an abstract object. He also deals comprehensively with a wide variety of linguistic phenomena as they are actually encountered in the classical texts, with numerous examples of idioms, common locutions, translation devices, neologisms, and dialectal variations.

Excerpt from The Land of the Lamas: Notes of a Journey Through China, Mongolia and Tibet I have passed over as rapidly as possible my journey through China, for the country I traversed has been in great part studied before me by other travelers who have told better than I could possibly do, of its beauty or dreariness, of its resources, of the customs and legendary lore of the people.
