Bangkok Siam Barnakich Press 1933 Revised Edition Hardcover Good with no dust jacket
Previous owner's name front endpaper, some indication of damp-strains along edges prelims and back blank pages; although the title-page indicates that the volume is illustrated, no illustrations are present (and it is questionable whether illustrations were, in fact, present in the revised edition at time of publication) . ; 15 x 23 cm.; pg. 300; Originally published 1926. Preface, introduction, index, bibliographical references. "The author died in Chiang Mai, his chosen city of residence, in 1970 at the age of ninety-two. He was appointed British Consul. His history of Siam from the earliest times up to the end of the absolute monarchy is a fairly brief sketch, drawn largely from Thai sources. It predates the post-war flow of modern scholarship and was for some time the only available monograph in English. Its main value today lies in its impressions of the early period and in its charm of approach and readability." Watts #228; 0404548806
