This volume conveniently presents, in English translation, three important accounts of the second French embassy to Siam in 1687: Tachard's Second Voyage, published in 1689; Ceberet's Journal du voyage de Siam, published in 1992; and Tachard's "Relation," an unpublished account of the tempestuous journey back to France." "Beginning with a listing of the dramatis personae and a general introduction to set the stage, Professor Michael Smithies introduces us to each of the three accounts in turn, providing background information about the authors and their times before presenting the relevant sections of their texts. Written from different perspectives, these key documents, taken together, form a fuller picture of the events and issues of this embassy.
