CAMP is also used, by the Siamese, and some other nations in the E. Indies, as the name of the quarters which they assign to the foreigners who come to trade with them.
In these camps, every nation forms, as it were, a particular town, where they carry on all their trade, not only keeping all their ware-houses and shops there, but also live in these camps with their whole families. The Europeans, however, are so far indulged, that at Siam, and almost every where else, they may live either in the cities or suburbs, as they shall judge most convenient.
