From 20th century impressions

Hillyard, Henry J. M.A., LL.D. (Digitized 2008) [1908]. "THE PROTESTANT CHURCH.". In Wright, Arnold; Breakspear, Oliver T (eds.). Twentieth century impressions of Siam (65.3 MB). London&c: Lloyds Greater Britain Publishing Company. p. 217. Retrieved January 28, 2012. Amongst the many missionaries in Siam the name of the Rev. D. B. Bradley, M.D., of the American Baptist Committee of Foreign Missions, stands most prominent. He came to Bangkok in 1835 and laboured in Siam for thirty eight years. He held daily religious services at his dispensary, met with many persecutions, worked under the most heart-breaking circumstances, and yet persevered. He was the first to practise surgery in Siam. He also introduced vaccination into the country. He opened hospitals for the gratuitous treatment of all who came to him to be healed. He published an annual calendar. He prepared a Siamese and English Grammar. His magnum opus was a solid dictionary of English and Siamese, which cost him years of toil; and his translation of the Scriptures, his Bible histories, hymnbooks, and tracts are known and used all over the kingdom of Siam. Truly, as Dr. William Dean said in memoriam of him, "His life and death were a legacy richer than a kingdom. {{cite book}}: Check date values in: |year= (help); Cite has empty unknown parameter: |chapterurl= (help)CS1 maint: multiple names: authors list (link) CS1 maint: year (link)

The Press

Twentieth century impressions of Siam, Chapter THE PRESS page 293, no author given:

.... It was not, however, until June, 1839, that a printing press on Western lines and with movable types was erected in Bangkok. It was introduced by some American missionaries, and a newspaper followed as a kind of natural sequence. In the year 1844 Mr. D. B. Bradley, of the American Presbyterian Mission, started a small paper in Siamese, but transport was difficult, there were neither regular mails nor telegraphs, and after struggling along for one year the issue was discontinued. There was apparently no scope for journalistic enterprise in these days, for while various papers and periodicals were started, they all very speedily came to grief. In 1864 Mr. J. H. Chandler commenced the publication of a weekly journal called the Bangkok Times. It was printed in English, and seemed to be on the high-road to success until, in the second year of its existence, the proprietor, editor, and manager became involved in a lawsuit, when publication ceased forthwith. The career of the Bangkok Recorder, a small paper founded about this time by the Rev. N. A. Macdonald, of the American Presbyterian Mission, and afterwards conducted by the Rev. D. H. Bradley, was cut short in a somewhat similar fashion. Legal proceedings were instituted against it by some aggrieved person, and the result, as far as the paper was concerned, was financial ruin. A Bangkok Recorder was afterwards published in Siamese ; but fortune did not smile upon the enterprise, and, after the failure of this undertaking, Bangkok was left for two years in the Arcadian-like and peaceful condition of being published regularly during what must be considered a record period, up to that time, of seventeen years. In 1886, however, the editor was faced with a serious libel suit, and he then decided to abandon an enterprise which had never been a real commercial success.
