Thirty Years In Kashmir
The stupendous natural surrounding amidst which they well have inspired sojourners in Kashmir and other Himalayan countries to produce some of the finest books of travel to be found.
Among them will have to be included in future this book of Dr. Arthur Neve in which so effectively does the author reveal the wonders of the land of towering peaks and huge glaciers where he has made his home for the last thirty years.
Going out to Kashmir in 1882 under the auspices of the Church Missionary Society, Dr. Neve took over the charge of Kashmir Mission Hospital at Srinagar from Dr. Edmund Downes, who was retiring, and has stayed there ever since. In his earlier chapters he gives some account of the Punjab and Kashmir in the eighties, and also of the work of the mission.

A Lonely Summer In Kashmir
In giving these recollections of a lonely summer spent in Kashmir to the public, I feel that more than a passing word of apology is needed for the egoistic tone running through them; with the best will in the word to eliminate it, the first person singular reappears with monotonous frequency.
In the first place, the very essence of travelling in an undeveloped country tends to selfishness; a wanderer in Europe can give his whole mind and time to historic sights around him.
In sparsely civilised countries it is different; the would-be explorer spends weeks beforehand making careful plans for his own comfort and security, and he who caters for himself best.
It is almost impossible in such surroundings for him not to fall into the prevailing illusion that he is a little tin god on wheels.
