An Irish-born adventurer in Russian service, Peter Dobell (1772–1852) embarked in 1812 on a long journey from Kamchatka to Tomsk, across Siberia. He also lived for several years in China. Published in 1830, this lively two-volume account of his travels includes observations on the peoples and cultures he encountered.
