Book Description
Excerpt from Narrative of Events in Borneo and Celebes, Down to the Occupation of Labuan, Vol. 2 of 2: From the Journals of James Brooke, Esq., Rajah of Sarawak, and Governof of Labuan, Together With a Narrative of the Operations of H. M.S. Iris Upon the whole, though the standard of morality is not very high, it cannot be considered low, and, in fact, is what might be expected amongst an agricultural and warlike people; and as the women have so decided a preference for the men whose bravery and deeds of arms are notorious, it readily accounts for the mass of the populace being ad dicted to war. Looking, then, at the position of these uncivilised and barbarous tribes with a calm and impartial view, we can scarcely be surprised at their fondness for all warlike pursuits and it may even be doubted whether Europeans might not be found who would take the heads of their dead enemies to gain the smiles and embraces of beauty.

M. S. Iris During the sixteen months in which I was in command of Her Majesty's squadron in the Straits of Singapore and on the coast of Borneo, I became acquainted with Mv. Brooke, and it was my good fortune to be much associated with him in the several operations carried on in that quarter, and to visit the greater part of the territory comprising the kingdom of Borneo Proper, by which I had ample opportunities of acquiring an intimate know ledge of the habits, and manners of the natives, and of the enlightened policy and progressive measures of Mr. Brooke, since his arrival in that country.

Book Description
James Brooke was one of the towering figures of the early 19th century British Empire. As Rajah of Sarawak he carved out his own distant fiefdom on the far-flung islands of the East Indies ( today s Indonesia) where he ruled as Queen Victoria s viceroy with virtually unlimited imperial power and pomp. This fascinating two-volume compilation of Brooke s personal journals shows how he did it. Replete with frank and fascinating first-hand accounts of Brooke s travels around the islands of his realm; of prolonged battles against local pirates and hostile tribesmen; and delicate negotiations with rulers like the Sultan of Brunei, this is a glimpse into the heroic days of empire-building from the pen of a top insider. It is illustrated with many engravings, woodcuts and maps. Vital reading for anyone interested in the British Empire and the peoples of Indonesia.
