Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from English Intercourse With Siam in the Seventeenth Century This hitherto unwritten chapter in the history of British enterprise in the East owes its origin to the following circumstances. Seven years ago, I found myself in the pleasant town of Mergui, a seaport on the eastern side of the Bay of Bengal. I had gone thither at the request of the Trustees of the Indian Museum, Calcutta, to bring together materials to illustrate in the museum some of the features of the marine fauna of the Bay of Bengal, a department of animal life then all but unrepresented in the collections contained in that institution. On my return to this country from India in the be ginning of 1885, the collections made in the Mergui Archipelago were brought to England to be placed in the hands of men competent to work out efficiently the various animal groups represented in them. My first idea was that the results of the labours of those employed in this work should be published by the Trustees of the Indian Museum, aided, if possible, by a grant from the Government of India. To add to the interest of this contemplated report, I proposed to myself to preface it with a short account of the history of the district in which my labours had lain.
