History of the Kingdom of Siam - and of the revolutions that have caused the overthrow of the empire, up to A. D. 1770

Turpin's History of Siam, published at Paris in the year 1771 consists of two volumes, the first of which deals merely with the natural History of Siam. The present book is a translation of the second volume only, and is of considerable interest owing to the fact that it is the only extant European work dealing with the events leading up to and succeeding the fall of the old capital, Ayuthia. We have no accounts of the compiler M. Turpin himself and therefore are unable to give any account of his life or position. The present volume falls into the following parts: a. A short resum of the early history of Siam. Few names are given, and the accounts are somewhat vague. Chapter 1. b. An account of the reign of Phra Narai and his immediate successors Chapter 2-6. This portion has been compiled from the earlier accounts of Forbin and La Loubre; but Tachard's remarks are not treated as serious history. c. A short chapter (Chapter 7) giving a somewhat vague account of the period intervening between the above and the next. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
