An interesting, if slightly jingoistic, description of the final mysteries of exploration, as viewed by Buchan in 1923. Particularly interesting is the account of early attempts to climb Everest.

Excerpt from The Last Secrets: The Final Mysteries of ExplorationThe world is disenchanted; oversoon Must Europe send her spies through all the land.It is in a high degree improbable that many geograph ical problems remain, the solving of which will come upon the mind with the overwhelming romance of the unveilings we have been privileged to witness. The explorer's will still be a noble trade, but it will be a filling up of gaps in a framework of knowledge which we already possess. The morning freshness has gone out of the business, and we are left with the plodding duties of the afternoon.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
