McDonald is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book offers a detailed exploration of Siam, now known as Thailand, focusing on its geographical and political landscape, societal manners, customs, and various aspects of life during the author's time. It is authored by McDonald, who spent ten years as a missionary in the country, providing a unique perspective on its culture and systems. The opening of the work begins with a description of the author's experiences and observations upon traveling to Siam. McDonald notes the general ignorance concerning Siam among Europeans and reflects on the limited availability of reliable information about the kingdom. He provides a geographical overview of Siam, highlighting its climate, natural features, and unique societal structures, such as the floating houses in Bangkok. As he delves into specifics about the province's government and the cultural practices of the Siamese people, he sets the stage for a comprehensive examination of both the historical and contemporary elements of life in Siam, establishing a foundation for the chapters that follow.
