Note 245 — Chapter XXII
Reading edition
Marco Polo's travels can easily be had in English; for example, in The Story of Marco Polo, by Noah Brooks, Century Company, 1898. A certain Franciscan monk, William of Rubruk, visited the far East somewhat earlier than the Polo brothers. The account of his journey, as well as the experiences of other mediæval travelers, may be found in The Travels of Sir John Mandeville, published by The Macmillan Company, 1900.
