The Kingdom and People of Siam (2-Volume Set) : With a Narrative of the Mission to That Country in 1855 (Cambridge Library Collection: Perspectives fr (Reissue)

Still valuable today for its insight into the workings of the Siamese (Thai) court and its diplomatic relations in the mid-nineteenth century, this 1857 two-volume study was the most successful of Bowring's varied body of work. It also contains an introduction to the country of Siam and its people.
