History of the Kingdom of Siam
by François-Henri Turpin
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. - Summary by B. O. Cartwright
