history of the various jurisdictions which have at different times come into existence in Siam and a record of the conditions and events having a
bearing on that history. It is also intended as a record of the transition of an Eastern country’s legal system from a condition evolved by that country
primarily for its own nationals to a condition acceptable both to it own nationals and nationals of alien races within its borders.”)
