French eyes on British case in British eyes
A brief commentary notes that French observers view the British case through their own lens, while British perception mirrors inward concerns and interpretations. The piece contrasts national viewpoints and suggests mutual skepticism without asserting specifics.
Bangkok Environs and River Fortifications
A map shows four miles of the Menam River where Bangkok sits and the east bank’s prominent buildings at risk from French gunboats anchored opposite the customs house. French vessels advanced nearly midway into the city, now three miles from the palace and just over two miles from the city wall. The brick wall, 20 feet wide at the base and 30 feet high, encloses about six miles, with most of Bangkok outside the wall, though the king’s palace and related buildings remain fenced within.
