hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

'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.
