No account has hitherto been published of Mr. Manning’s remarkable journey.\r\n\r\nThese two gaps in the history of intercourse between India and Tibet have now been filled up.  \r\n\r\nHis family in Scotland has carefully preserved the whole of Mr. Bogle’s journals, memoranda, official and private correspondence. These valuable manuscripts, after having been judiciously arranged, were placed in the hands of the present editor.  These consisted of journals, memoranda of various kinds, and on many subjects numerous bundles of private letter including correspondence with Warren Hastings , appointments, minutes of conversations and official dispatches.  The whole of this voluminous mass of papers had to be carefully read through and annotated before any attempt could be made to arrange a consecutive narrative of the mission.  \r\n\r\nMr. Manning appears o have hastily jotted down his first impressions, day by day, in a rough notebook, which was copied out fair by his sister.  He was a man of learning and great ability, and was well able to have written a good account of his remarkable journey.  He never did so.  His rough journal was placed in my hands.  Thus an account of the visit to Lhasa of the only Englishman who ever entered that famous city is now presented to the world.  \r\n\r\nThis account of the important mission of George Bogle to Bhutan and Tibet has been gathered partly from journals, partly from official dispatches, and partly from private correspondence; and it is now presented for the first time in a connected form.  That of Mr. Manning’s extraordinary journey to Lhasa is from a fragmentary series of notes and jottings, which alone remain to bear testimony to a feat, which still remains unparalleled.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNARRATIVE OF GEORGE BOGLE TO TIBET  (1774)\r\n\r\nCHAPTER I\r\nMission to Tibet\r\n \r\nCHAPTER II\r\nFrom Kuch Bahar to Tassisudon\r\n\r\nCHAPTER III\r\nTassisudon, the Capital of Bhutan\r\n\r\nCHAPTER IV\r\nHistory and Government of Bhutan\r\n\r\nCHAPTER V\r\nBhutan: Negotiations\r\n\r\nCHAPTER VI\r\nSuggestions Respecting Bhutan and Assam\r\n\r\nCHAPTER VII\r\nThe Journey to Tibet\r\n\r\nCHAPTER VIII\r\nAt Desheripgay\r\n\r\nCHAPTER IX\r\nRide from Desheripgay to Teshu Lumbo\r\n\r\nCHAPTER X\r\nTeshu Lumbo\r\n\r\nCHAPTER XI\r\nA Visit to a Tibetan Country Seat\r\n\r\nCHAPTER XII\r\nAn Account of Tibet\r\n\r\nCHAPTER XIII\r\nTrade of Tibet\r\n\r\nCHAPTER XIV\r\nNegotiations\r\n\r\nCHAPTER XV\r\nConversations with the Teshu Lama at Teshu Lumbo\r\n\r\nCHAPTER XVI\r\nThe Episode with the Chauduri\r\n\r\nCHAPTER XVII\r\nReturn from Tibet to Bengal, Negotiations in Bhutan\r\n\r\nCHAPTER XVIII\r\nGeneral Report by Bogle on His Return from Tibet\r\n\r\nCHAPTER XIX\r\nJourney of the Teshu Lama to Peking, and his Death.\r\nProject of Mr. Bogle for Meeting the Lama at Peking.\r\n\r\nJOURNEY OF MR THOMAS MANNING TO LHASA (1811 – 12)\r\n\r\nCHAPTER I\r\nJourney from Cantalbary to Pari-Jong\r\n\r\nCHAPTER II\r\nFrom Pari-Jong to Giansu\r\n\r\nCHAPTER III\r\nResidence at Giansu\r\n\r\nCHAPTER IV\r\nJourney From Giansu to Lhasa\r\n\r\nCHAPTER V\r\nLhasa\r\n\r\nCHAPTER VI\r\nVisit to the Grand Lama\r\n\r\nCHAPTER VII\r\nStory of the Riot – Execution of a Good Mandarin\r\n\r\nCHAPTER VIII\r\nResidence at Lhasa\r\n\r\nCHAPTER IX\r\nFragmentary Notes – Return Journey\r\n\r\nAPPENDIX\r\n\r\nList of Illustrations\r\nMaps\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"George Bogle \/ Asian Educational Services \/ Hardcover","offer_id":40789245788329,"sku":"18302","price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/1048\/4393\/products\/18302.jpg?v=1625569761","url":"https:\/\/indiaclub.com\/products\/18302-narratives-of-the-mission-of-george-bogle-to-tibet-and-of-the-journey-of-thomas-manning-to-lhasa","provider":"India Club","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
