This is a collection of voyages to Asia, (China, Asia Minor, Armenia, and Persia), in which China and Persia are described in many pages and at length. It was adapted for young readers by the Reverend T. Clark.
Although part of a three-volume set, this volume stands on its own as a description of Asia. The others treat Europe and Egypt—but the three volume set is very scarce.
