Description

  • Translated by C. B. Pitman

  • Upon starting from Paris at the end of November, 1891, I had two objects in view : first, to complete in lower Tonkin the information all too hastily collected at the close of our previous voyage

    Second object I had in view - it is difficult to travel so far without making an excursion, however brief, into the Laos

    Moreover, a voyage into Laos would also give me an opportunity of studying one of the three main commercial routes to Tonkin, that of the Black River, and enable me to compare it with that of the Red River
