Not illustrated. 1857 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XV. DIPLOMATIC AND COMMERCIAL RELATIONS OF WESTERN NATIONS WITH SLAM. I.--Portuguese Missions. rpHE Portuguese may be called the discoverers, or re-discoverers, of Siam; but we are imperfectly informed as to the relations which the great Lusitanian adventurers had with the Siamese, though we have abundant evidence that-no other European nation established so early an intercourse, obtained so strong a hold, or has left so many traces behind it in Siam, as the. Portuguese. Their purposes mingled the conquest of territory with the propagation of the Catholic faith; but I do not find in the Siamese annals any record of formal treaties, either with the Court of Lisbon or any of the Portuguese factories established to the east of the Cape of Good Hope. The anticipations of poetry have not been realized as regards the influence of Lusitanian prowess upon the futurity of the Siamese dominions. "Time was," the King of Siam said to me in the presence of hundreds of prostrate nobles, --" time was when we considered Portugal as the greatest country in the world; but yours is the country to which we must now look, and it is your alliance we desire to obtain." The vicissitudes of nations are melanchply records; and I was often oppressed with sadness when, in the wretched and ignoble races, many of which still bear illustrious names, I looked upon the descendants of those who accompanied the Albuquerques, the Da Gamas, the De Castros, and the Pachecos, and other heroes of epic song, in their days of triumph, --days in which Prom Western Lusitania passing o'er, Through distant oceans never crossed before, They left behind them Taprobana'a shore, And in remotest regions kingdoms founded, Thro' which the glories of their names resounded.f There...

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →In Beastly Possessions, Sarah Amato chronicles the unusual ways in which Victorians of every social class brought animals into their daily lives. Captured, bred, exhibited, collected, and sold, ordinary pets and exotic creatures – as well as their representations – became commodities within Victorian Britain’s flourishing consumer culture. As a pet, an animal could be a companion, a living parlour decoration, and proof of a household’s social and moral status. In the zoo, it could become a public pet, an object of curiosity, a symbol of empire, or even a consumer mascot. Either kind of animal might be painted, photographed, or stuffed as a taxidermic specimen. Using evidence ranging from pet-keeping manuals and scientific treatises to novels, guidebooks, and ephemera, this fascinating, well-illustrated study opens a window into an underexplored aspect of life in Victorian Britain.
