内容説明・目次
内容説明
Although books on the Malays of the Archipelago and Peninsula written by sympathetic European observers abound, those written on the Chinese in the region during the 19th century are few and far between - no doubt a result of problems of language. One of the few to appear was the present volume, whose author was a Victorian Englishman who embarked on a career in the navy, and then transformed himself after a considerable spell as a colonial administrator into a lawyer. His residence of almost half a century in the Straits settlements, particularly in Penang and Singapore, provided him with the knowledge and experience of the Chinese resident in these places. Although replete with the prejudices of his countrymen and of his age with regard to the Chinese and their characteristics, his writings also reveal an underlying respect and appreciation of these people on whose enterprise, skill and energy the economic development of the region depended.
