Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

(This book was originally published prior to 1923, and rep...)
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

(Captain Harry Willes Darell de Windt (1856- 1933) born in...)
Captain Harry Willes Darell de Windt (1856- 1933) born in Paris, was the aide-de-camp to his brother-in-law Charles Brooke, Rajah of Sarawak, an explorer and author of many books about his travels. His books were published under the name of Harry de Windt. His works include: On the Equator (1882), From Pekin to Calais by Land (1890), A Ride to India Across Persia and Baluchistan (1890), Ennui de Voyage (1890), Siberia as it is (1892), The New Siberia (1895), A Queer Honeymoon (? ), Through the Gold Fields of Alaska (1898), True Tales of Travel and Adventure (1899), Finland as it is (1901), From Paris to New York by Land (1902), Through Savage Europe (1905), Moles and Their Meaning (1908), My Restless Life (1908), A Woman in Black (1912) and Russia as I Know it (1916).

("What was the object of this stupendous voyage, or the re...)
"What was the object of this stupendous voyage, or the reward to be gained by this apparently unnecessary risk of life and endurance of hardships?" Harry De Windt's aim was to find out if a railway that connected Paris and New York could be constructed - from today's point of view an almost incredible purpose and effort. Originally published in 1903.

(Moles and their Meaning was originally published in 1907....)
Moles and their Meaning was originally published in 1907. It claims to allow you to tell the character type and future of a person based on their facial moles. If you believe that is possible, then even without consulting your moles I can tell that you are the sort of gullible person who should buy this book. If you don't believe it then because you are sagacious and graced with a fine sense of humour you should buy it anyway.

(Blame it on the Czar! If Harry de Windt, that dashing 19t...)
Blame it on the Czar! If Harry de Windt, that dashing 19th century Long Rider, had been allowed to follow his original plan, he would have galloped to India via the Central Asian satraps of His Imperial Russian Highness. When suspicious St. Petersburg put a halt to Harry’s Russian route, the intrepid equestrian explorer determined to reach his goal via the Shah’s empire instead. What followed was a ride to remember as Harry de Windt, lecturer, author, Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and equestrian explorer par excellence, saddled up in 1890 and set off to examine the forgotten corners of Persia and Baluchistan. The resultant journey was literally one for the record books as the redoubtable Harry proved time and again that he wasn’t going to be put off by a few minor inconveniences such as the weather, which ranged from an arctic storm in Persia that froze his cigar to his lips, to a howling desert wind in Baluchistan with temperatures nearing 120 degrees Fahrenheit! Neither was handsome Harry bothered by the less than ideal accommodations he discovered. “The floor was crawling with vermin but in Persia one must not be particular,” he casually observed. Nor was our author overly concerned about his physical safety, dismissing the fact that the last foreign traveler who attempted this route had been “waylaid, robbed, tied to a tree, and left to starve.” Though it reads like a mounted Jules Verne novel, “A Ride to India” is replete with the author’s scientific observations and appendices, including details from his exact route, “road overgrown, much camel thorn,” to Harry’s “Table of Languages in Baluchistan.” Part science, all adventure, “A Ride to India” takes the reader for a canter across the Persian Empire of a romantic and bygone age.
