AN EARLY PRIMARY RESOURCE OM FRENCH MISSIONARIES . . . IN TONKIN [NORTH VIETNAM] . * This work was written by "A Missionary," i.e. [L. Debroas], a French Catholic missionary working in Tonkin [N. Vietnam] during the late 19th century. . TWO PARTS: . The work is divided into two parts: 1. Le Tonkin: Covers general aspects, climate, fauna, flora, populating, language, education, literature, religion: Confucianism & Buddhism, life style costumes, government & administration, institutions, funeral rites, Catholic missions. . 2.

An excellent primary source for early French activities. . *** FRENCH TONKIN EXPEDITION: . The Tonkin expedition is a continuation of French military operations carried out under the Third Republic and resulting in the Sino-French War. . At the birth of the Third Republic, France already had taken Indochina, by the Treaty of 1862 with the Emperor Tu Duc, three southern provinces of the current Vietnam that form the French Cochin China, and also benefits from the opening three ports of Annam to French commerce. . The aspirations of the republic in the region were driven by traders seeking opportunities in the Far East, and those who dream of competing with the British Empire, now in India, with the Mekong that would open Laos, Burma and China to French commerce. The French aspirations up the Mekong river disappointed these efforts because the Mekong was impassable by boat. The exploration of the Mekong river by the geographical expedition of Francis Garnier and Ernest Doudart de Lagrée in 1866-1868, ended in their death and failure. French efforts were transferred to the Red River in Tonkin, which opened an outlet and shipping to China. Per Wikipedia, below. . *** SINO-FRENCH WAR 1884-1885: The Sino-French War [in Chinese: Zhongfa Zhànzheng, French: Guerre Franco-Chinoise, & in Vietnamese: Chien tranh Phap-Thanh], also known as the "Tonkin War" and "Tonquin War," was a limited conflict fought from August 1884 through April 1885, to decide whether France would supplant China's control of Tonkin [Northern Vietnam]. Although the Chinese armies performed better than in other 19th century foreign wars, it ended with French defeat on land, the French gained most of the aims they wanted in the Treaty of Tientsin. . *** MANY WOODCUT ENGRAVINGS: This work has 34 lovely woodcut engravings, many are full page.
