This article presents information on the book "On Ancient Central Asian Tracks," by Aurel Stein. The author's previous detailed and sumptuous books haying passed out of print, the present volume, condensing and digesting the results of his notable expeditions, is very welcome. As regards the incidents, Aurel is not enough of a writer to turn them into interesting narrative. His writing is plain and unambitious. Its modesty is its only virtue. But the results of the expeditions recorded here are of the greatest interest. The vast expanse of Central Asia is perhaps the most desolate in the world.
