This early work by Francis Younghusband was originally published in
1921 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory
biography. 'The Heart of Nature' is a broad ranging work comprising
details of travel and philosophies. Francis Younghusband was born
in 1863 at Munree, British India, the son of Major-General John W.
Younghusband and Clara Jane Shaw. Younghusband attended Clifton
College, Bristol, before entering the Royal Military Academy
Sandhurst in 1881. After his time at the Academy he was
commissioned as a Subaltern in the 1st King's Dragoon Guards where
he began his military career. He rose through the ranks and in
1902, due to fears of Russian expansion, the now Major
Younghusband, was promoted to the position of British Commisioner
to Tibet, a post he held until 1904. Younghusband married Helen
Augusta Magniac, with whom he had two children, a son who died in
infancy and a daughter, Eileen Younghusband. Their daughter went on
to become a prominent social worker.
