Henry T. Prinsep (1792-1878) was the son of a prominent East India
Company servant, and like his father, he spent much of his life in
the East. He left Britain for Calcutta in 1809, at the age of
seventeen, and stayed in India, working in a variety of roles,
until his retirement in 1843. He wrote a number of books about
India: in this work, published in 1851, he turns to the north of
the subcontinent. Prinsep draws from travel narratives of the few
explorers who had been to this territory - which corresponds to
today's western China and Mongolia - to illustrate the lives of the
people there. Using sources ranging from the thirteenth-century
account by Marco Polo to eighteenth-century reports by French
missionaries, Prinsep brings information on what was then a
little-known world to a wider audience.
