Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from Embassy to the Eastern Courts of Cochin-China, Siam, and Muscat: In the U. S. Sloop-of-War Peacock, David Geisinger, Commander, During the Years 1832-3-4 Having some years since become acquainted with the commerce of Asia and Eastern Africa, the information produced on my mind a conviction that considerable benefit would result from effecting treaties with solne of the native powers bordering on the Indian ocean.

Not illustrated. 1837 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XV. SUSPENSION OF INTERCOURSE-FAILURE OF MISSION-DEPARTURE OF EMBASSY FROM VUNG-LAM BAY-ENVOY'S TITLES-MODE OF HUSKING RICE-TOMBS OF THE DEADFISHING BOATS-ABSENCE OF PRIESTS AND TEMPLES-SUPERSTITIONS-WILD ANIMALS-MANDARINES' HOUSE-MODE OF TAKING LEAVE-GOVERNMENT OF COCHIN-CHINA-GRADES OF RANK. Two days having elapsed, on the third of February, without any official intercourse with the shore, the junior deputy again appeared; his colleague still remaining on shore on account of sickness. The professed object of his coming, was a mere visit; the real one, to propose another word to be used at the commencement of the President's letter, if the words previously suggested would not be adopted. This word was kin, implying reverence, solemnity, and veneration, &c., not differing materially from that which had before been proposed: it was also rejected.

He was determined, however, that without the adoption of some derogatory expression, the letter should not be sent on to Hue; so that the business of the mission remained at a stand.
