Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Historical Sketch of the Missions in Siam and Among the Laos: Under the Care of the Board of Foreign Missions of the Presbyterian Church
The government is an absolute monarchy, entrusting all power of every kind to the king. The second king has no share III the administration, nor have the nobles, although when the king dies it is the assembly of nobles which chooses his successor, either from among his sons or, if they prefer, from some other family.
