A Naturalist in Western China is a travelogue written by Ernest Henry Wilson, a renowned English botanist and plant collector. The book is divided into two volumes, with the first volume published in 1913. The book details Wilson's expedition to western China in 1908, where he spent two years exploring the region's flora and fauna. The book is filled with Wilson's observations of the natural world, including descriptions of the plants, animals, and landscapes he encountered. He also writes about the local people he met and their customs and traditions. As a naturalist, Wilson was equipped with a vasculum (a container for collecting plant specimens), a camera, and a gun. He used these tools to document his findings and bring back plant specimens for study. The book is a fascinating account of a bygone era of exploration and discovery, and it provides valuable insights into the natural history of western China. It is a must-read for anyone interested in botany, natural history, or travel writing.Being Some Account Of Eleven Years������� Travel, Exploration, And Observation In The More Remote Parts Of The Flowery Kingdom.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
