A voyage to cochin China

---

JOHN WHITE'S account of his visit to Viet-Nam in 1819 and 1820 ranks as a minor treasure of early nineteenth century travel literature on South-East Asia. As White himself was at pains to point out in his 'Advertisement', this is not a book written by a professed scholar'. It is, however, less easy to accept his claim that the book is but 'the production of an unlettered seaman'. Not the least of the continuing charm of A Voyage to Cochin China is the manner in which its author gives rather self-conscious evidence of his grasp of a range of scholarship going well beyond the basic needs of a lieutenant in the United States Navy.
