Description
Excerpt from Travels in the Central Parts of Indo-China (Siam), Cambodia, and Laos, Vol. 1 of 2: During the Years 1858, 1859, and 1860
The engravings from his drawings will impart interest to the descriptions of the ruins and vast buildings which he discovered in the interior of Siam and Cambodia, testifying to an advanced state of civilization in former times, and which, I venture to think, deserve to be brought into notice. They will also familiarize the reader with the manners, customs,-and appearance of the country. My aim has been to be useful to those who deign to read these pages; and, if fidelity be merit in a book, I trust the reader will be satisfied.
