Voyage d’une parisienne à Lhassa - à pied et en mendiant de la Chine à l’Inde à travers le Thibet
Librairie Plon, Paris, 1958. In/8 broché, 332 pages, couverture imprimée, 28 photographies hors texte sur papier couché, une carte dépliante in-fine A. David Neel fut une femme libre qui décida passé 40 ans de laisser mari et vie bourgeoise à Paris pour se lancer seule dans un voyage au Tibet, ce qui à l’époque constituait déjà à l’époque une gageure. Elle en revint de nombreuses années plus tard, accompagnée de son fidèle accompagnateur le jeune lama Yongden qu’elle adopta. Laissons-la expliquer son attraction pour ce pays : “ l’aspect physique du Thibet n’était cependant pas la seule cause de l’attraction que ce pays exerçait sur moi. Il m’attirait grandement aussi comme orientaliste (Elle avait été élève au Collège de France)... ces investigations captivantes m’amenèrent à pénétrer dans un monde mille fois plus étrange encore que les hautes solitudes du Thibet : celui des ascètes et des magiciens dont la vie s’écoule cahchée dans les replis des montagnes, parmi les cimes neigeuses.”.

In 1880 he received three commissions: collecting wood samples for the Jesup Collection under the auspices of the American Museum of Natural History; exploring American forests and collecting data for a final report for the United States Census Bureau working for Charles Sprague Sargent; and general botanical collecting on behalf of Asa Gray. In 1884 he made a botanical survey of the northern portions of Arizona under the auspices of the Smithsonian Institution.

In April 1896 he was elected a member of the newly established New England Botanical Club and attended the meetings when in Boston. He was a charter member and later vice-president of the Vermont Botanical Club. During his 35 years of field work in the United States Canada and Mexico Pringle collected over 500000 specimens which included some 1200 species new to science. Duplicates of his own collections were distributed widely and can be found throughout many herbaria in the United States and abroad. Cloth. Very Good. Free Press Printing Co,. Hardcover
