Description
Hugh Low, who arrived in Sarawak in 1844 on what was essentially a commercial visit, was three years later appointed Colonial Secretary at Labuan, where he remained until 1876. This text, largely based on the detailed journal he kept during his first 30 months in the state, was the first comprehensive and authoritiative book on Northern Borneo to be published, and became a standard reference work on Northern Borneo and its peoples.
