Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Golden Chersonese: And the Way Thither
The introductory chapter, and the explanatory chapters on Sungei U jong, Selangor and Perak, contain information of a rather more solid charac ter than is given in my sketches of travel, and are intended to make the letters more intelligible and useful.* The map by Mr. Daly is the result of the most recent surveys, and is published here by per mission of the Royal Geographical Society. As I traveled under official auspices, and was entertained at the houses of officials everywhere, I feel it to be due to my entertainers to say that I have carefully abstained from giving their views on any subjects on which they may have uttered them in the ease of friendly intercourse, except in two or three trivial instances, in which I have quoted them as my authorities. The opinions expressed are wholly my own, whether right or wrong, and I ac cept the fullest responsibility for them.
