Excerpt from Rajah Brooke: The Englishman as Ruler of an Eastern State
The plan which the Rajah endeavoured to persuade the English Government to adopt was to make treaties with all the independent princes of the Eastern Archipelago, including those States whose shores are washed by the China Sea, as Siam, Cambodia and Annam, by which they could cede no territory to any foreign power without the previous consent of England, and to establish at the capitals of the larger States well-chosen diplomatic agents, to encourage the native rulers not only to improve the internal condition of their countries, but to inculcate justice in their treatment of foreigners, and thus avoid complications with other powers.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the life of Sir James Brooke, a remarkable 19th-century adventurer who became known as the Rajah of Sarawak. Born into a distinguished family, Brooke embarked on an adventurous life, joining the British military and traveling extensively. His travels took him to the island of Borneo, where he became fascinated by the local people and their customs. In 1841, Brooke was appointed governor of Sarawak by theç å°sultan, a position that gave him great influence over the region. He devoted his time to improving the lives of the people of Sarawak, introducing reforms and establishing a stable government. Brooke's rule was not without its challenges, as he faced resistance from both within and outside Sarawak. However, his determination and diplomatic skills allowed him to overcome these obstacles and establish a prosperous and peaceful state. This book paints a vivid picture of Brooke's life and times, offering insights into his character, his motivations, and his lasting legacy as one of the most influential figures in Bornean history.
