Louis de Carne served on the Mekong River Expedition as representative of the French Foreign Ministry. His relations with other members of the expedition, particularly Garnier, were poor, and after the expedition he vigorously criticised Garnier for not giving sufficient credit to the deceased Doudart de Lagree. Carne himself died of dysentry contracted on the expedition before publication of his book.
