Narrative of a Resident at the Capital of the Kingdom of Siam: With a Description of the Manners, Customs, and Laws of the Modern Siamese (Classic Reprint)
Description:Excerpt from Narrative of a Resident at the Capital of the Kingdom of Siam: With a Description of the Manners, Customs, and Laws of the Modern Siamese At a time when the relations of this country with the nations east of the Granges are occupying much attention, it is hoped that the following work, relating to a country hitherto very imperfectly known to Europeans, will prove interesting to the British public. With the territory of Siam, lying as it does between the Burmese empire, with which we are now at war, and the confines of China, we must ultimately have greater intercourse than we have hitherto had. The Siamese and the Burmese look on each other - with what reason is a different question - as "natural enemies," and ultimately the extension of our commerce, if not of our political power, in that region of Asia, will render it absolutely necessary that we should have some firm commercial footing in Siam.
