SER MARCO POLO
NOTES AND ADDENDA TO SIR HENRY YULE'S EDITION, CONTAINING THE RESULTS OF
RECENT RESEARCH AND DISCOVERY

PREFACE
There is no need of a long Preface to this small book. When the third
edition of the Book of Ser Marco Polo was published in 1903,
criticism was lenient to the Editor of YULE'S grand work, and it was
highly satisfactory to me that such competent judges as Sir Aurel STEIN
and Sven HEDIN gave their approval to the remarks I made on the
itineraries followed in Central Asia by the celebrated Venetian Traveller.
