Excerpt from Papers on Malay Subjects (Published by Direction of the Government of the Federated Malay States.): History; Events Prior to British Ascendancy; Notes on Perak History
As explained in the preface to the Minutes of the Perak State Council, 1877-1879, it was my original intention to give in the first pamphlet of this History series some account of events in Malaya prior to British ascendancy, and in the second pamphlet to deal with the coming of the English to Perak. This intention has been abandoned. The story of British intervention in Perak has been the subject of bitter controversy. A narrative giving the whole truth might terminate the controversy, but it would arouse further bitterness; and, in any case, this little series of educational pamphlets is not the place for the publication of matter to which any exception might reasonably be taken.
