10/14/06 (Edited 10/14/06)
Description:
First Published in 1828
This first-hand account of the first European mission to Thailand since the the seventeenth century and the last British mission to Vietnam, was for a century and half the indispensable handbook for those interested in the nineteenth century politics and commerce of these countries. Crawfurd's mission for the East India Company was of considerable historical importance and there are interesting descriptions of Penang, Malacca and Singapore after the main text.
