Book Description
Excerpt from Five Years in Siam, From 1891 to 1896, Vol. 1 OF Siam and the Siamese much has of late been written. The subject, however, cannot be said to have been ex baustad. Though not a few books, quite a number of papers, ' and innumerable press articles, dealing with the King, the country, or its people, are in existence, it is yet a fact that the inquirer can light on no authority of recent date from which to obtain reliable information dealing with either in an extensive or general manner. Such modern books as are to be found are, with few excep tions, accounts of travel, written after a superficial glance at the subjects they deal with by persons new to their surroundings. The papers and press notices are mostly devoted to some one subject, or some particular question, and, though often written by men who knew what they were writing about, as a source of information they are scrappy as well as dificult to obtain.
