'In the course of nineteenth century exploration and colonization, many lands held a special attraction and interest for those at home -- the mysteries of darkest Africa, the uncharted course of the Amazon and of course the great island of Borneo. The island of Borneo (particularly northern Borneo) was put on the man of Victorian minds by the activities of that incomparably romantic adventurer, James Brooke, who created for himself a kingdom out of the dominions of the Sultan of Brunei. Drawing on Illustrated London News the pages of this journal provide one of the most important sources of written and illustrated information about northern Borneo in the nineteenth century, and cover the principal actors who appeared on that stage. The bulk of that material has been brought together, for the first time, in this present volume, along with references and illustrations from other contemporary sources.' vi+130 pages. 10.75 x 8.7 inches.
