Dealer Notes

Warington Smyth, author of Five Years in Siam, travelled to examine a reported deposit of rubies and sapphires on the left bank of the Mekong opposite Chieng Kong. He returned to Bangkok via Luang Prabang, Nongkhai, and Khorat, the journey taking six months in all. The present work, along with others by him, has become uncommon.
