Book Description

About the Book "Climbing On The Himalaya And Other Mountain Ranges" is a compelling narrative penned by J. Norman Collie, a celebrated mountaineer and explorer. Delving into his daring expeditions across renowned peaks like the Himalayas, Alps, and Rockies, Collie shares riveting tales of his encounters with local cultures, wildlife, and natural wonders. Each chapter offers invaluable insights into mountaineering techniques, safety measures, and the profound experiences awaiting those who dare to conquer the world's highest summits.

About the Author Professor John Norman Collie FRSE FRS (1859-1942), known as J. Norman Collie, was an English scientist, mountaineer, and explorer. Born in Alderley Edge, Cheshire, he studied chemistry and earned a PhD from Würzburg in 1884. He served as Professor of Organic Chemistry at UCL, making significant contributions to the field. As a mountaineer, he explored the Cuillin in Skye and made ascents in the Canadian Rockies. Collie passed away in 1942, leaving behind a legacy in science and mountaineering.

Foreword AFTER a book has been written, delivered to the publisher, and the proofs corrected, the author fondly imagines that little or no more is expected of him. All he has to do is to wait. In due time his child will be introduced to the world, and perhaps an enthusiastic public, by judicious com-ments on the virtues of the youngster, will make the parent proud of his offspring. Before, however, this much-desired event can take place, custom demands that a preface, or an introduction of the aforesaid youngster to polite society, must be written. Unfortunately also the parent has to compile a list or index of the various items of his progeny's belongings that are of interest; so that nothing be left undone that may be of service to the young fellow, what time he makes his bow before a critical audience. In books on travel, nowadays, it is customary often somewhat to scamp this necessary duty, and, after a few remarks in the preface, on subjects not always of absorbing interest, to conclude with the hope that the reader will be as interested in the description of places he has never seen as the author has been in writing about them. Of course, formerly these matters were better managed. In the 'Epistle Dedicatorie,' the author would at once begin with: To the most Noble Earle then with many apologies, all in the best English and most perfect taste, he, under the patronage of the aforesaid Noble Earle, would launch his venture on to the wide seas of publicity, or perhaps growing bolder, would put forth his wares with some such phrases as the following:-'And now, oh most ingenuous reader! can you find narrated many adventures, both on the high mountains of the earth, and in far countries but little known to the vulgar. Here are landscapes brought home, and so faithfully wrought, that you must confess, none but the best engravers could work them. Here, too, may'st thou find described diverse parts of thine own native land.' Choose that which pleased thee best. Not to detain thee longer, farewell; and when thou hast considered thy purchase, may'st thou say, that the price of it was but a charity to thyself, so not ill spent.'
