Excerpt from Voyages and Travels of Marco Polo Marco Polo, born in the year 1254, belonged to a noble trading family in Venice. His father, Nicolo Polo, was led, with a brother Maffei, by the enterprise of trade, to visit the Crimea. Thence they went forward to Bokhara, and from Bokhara they were drawn to the coast of the great Emperor of China, Kubla Khan. Kubla ruled over the wide regions extending to the coasts of China, which had been conquered by the Tartar Genghis Khan and his immediate followers. It was Kubla Khan who had removed the seat of Tartar government to Cambaluc - that is, Pekin - which he enlarged and glorified. He had also a summer palace at Shangtu, as Coleridge sang - In Xanadu did Kubla Khan A stately pleasure-dome decree; Where Alph, the sacred river, ran Through caverns measureless to man Down to a sunless sea. So twice five miles of fertile ground With walls and towers were girdled round: And there were gardens bright with sinuous rills, Where blossomed many an incense-bearing tree; And here were forests ancient as the hills Enfolding-sunny spots of greenery. Here or at Pekin the Great Khan received, in the father and uncle of Marco Polo, the first men from whom he heard descriptions of the civilisation and religion of the West.

The Voyages of Marco Polo is a 13th-century travelogue written down by Rustichello da Pisa from stories told by Italian explorer Marco Polo, describing Polo's travels through Asia between 1271 and 1295, and his experiences at the court of Kublai Khan. The Travels is divided into four books. Book One describes the lands of the Middle East and Central Asia that Marco encountered on his way to China. Book Two describes China and the court of Kublai Khan. Book Three describes some of the coastal regions of the East: Japan, India, Sri Lanka, South-East Asia, and the east coast of Africa. Book Four describes some of the then-recent wars among the Mongols and some of the regions of the far north, like Russia. Polo's writings included descriptions of cannibals and spice-growers.

So much has been written on the subject of the celebrated Venetian traveller of the middle ages Marco Polo, and the authenticity and credibility of his relation have been so well established, that it is now quite unnecessary to enter into this part of the question; but the reader of the following translation will doubtless be desirous of learning something more about the author than is found in the narration of his adventures. We are informed by the Italian biographers, that the Polos were a patrician family of Venice, but of Dalmatian extraction. Andrea Polo da S. Felice had three sons, named Marco, Maffeo, and Nicolo, the two latter of whom were great merchants in a city where the profession of commerce was anything but incompatible with nobility. They were probably in partnership; and about 1254 or 1255, they proceeded on a voyage to Constantinople, between which city and Venice the commercial relations were at this time very intimate...
