Description and Table of Contents
Description
A memoir documenting the author's experiences in Malasia from 1838, when he arrived in Penang as a teenager to begin work as a surveyor, until his later years, when his concerns turned to the sufferings of the Malayan peoples. The memoir combines acute observations of eastern lifestyles with a radical denouncement of imperialism.
