About This Book

A British resident's mid-19th-century account combines travel memoir, commercial observation, and historical narrative of the Philippine islands. It recounts local scenes and the author's experiences during 1848–1850, surveys Spanish colonial institutions, missionary efforts, and earlier voyages of exploration that opened the islands to European rule, and assesses economic conditions, trade opportunities, and prospects for reform under changing Spanish policy. Chapters mix descriptive sketches of Manila and outlying islands, historical background on early explorers and conquest, and practical commentary aimed at merchants and manufacturers, with candid reflections on administration, social life, and the gradual influence of commerce on local society.
