The first of these geographers was a Greek, the sconed a Chinese, the third a Vosstian. Wide apart as were the nations that gave birth to these three, their divergenes in point of time wwe no less great; the thrst, Herodotus of Halicarnassus, lived in the former hall of the 5th century B.C.. the second, Chang Kien, who inspired Sz'ma's great history, the Shi Ai, lived in the latter half of the second contury, also B.C., while the third, Marco Polo, the subject of this notice, was born in the year of Grace 1254. The paths of all three travellers overlapped in Persia and parts of Central Asin, so that we are able to make a fair- comparison of the work accomplished by each The men as well as the work, notwithstanding" the differance in time and nationality, werd remarkably alike, and the eventual resnits were by no means dissimiler.
