In 1878 a young man named William Pryer was sent to North Borneo
(now Sabah) to 'establish' the British North Borneo Company there.
In 1894 his wife Ada published her account of his early years as an
administrator along with some sketches of their life together. The
memoir has unique value both as a travel narrative in its own right
and for understanding the international politics of the British
takeover of North Borneo. The new edition will reproduce the text
of the original 1894 edition, including an introductory essay as
well as annotations to explain and contextualize references of
historical and biographical significance.
