Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Narrative of Travel and Sport, in Burmah, Siam, and the Malay Peninsula
They almost invariably choose those tracts of the country which are best known, and where travelling is comparatively safe and easy. And so it happened, that when I first formed the idea of penetrating into the interior of Siam, and working my way down towards the Malay Peninsula, I could not induce any of my Indian friends and acquaintances to join me in the expedition, or even to countenance and encourage the pro posed undertaking; and I was compelled to leave Calcutta for Rangoon, the point from whence I proposed to start, alone.
