Second edition of Tachard’s account of the second embassy to Siam in which the commercial treaty from 1685 (the first Embassy) was reaffirmed. Despite its primary goal of reinforcing the 1685 commercial treaty, the mission was not a success. The embassy consisted of five warships The arrival of French troops in Bangkok and Mergui incited intense nationalist movements in Siam which eventually resuted in a bloody revolution: “Exactly six months later, on 1 March, the three mandarins and their suite sailed back to Siam, taking with them Louis XIV's second French embassy to Phra Narai, headed this time by Simon de La Loubere and Claude Ceberet de Boullay.211…
