An account of an embassy to the court of the Teshoo Lama, in Tibet;

An account of the second British Mission to Tibet made by Turner at the request of Warren Hastings in 1783, following the installation of the new Panchen Lama. Turner's narrative remained the earliest and best on Tibet in English for many years as the account of Bogle's 1774 Mission was not published until 1876.
The book also contains an account of affairs in Tibet from 1785-1793, including a description of the Nepalese-Tibetan War of 1788-1792.
