Abstract
THOSE who are acquainted with Mr. Roth's earlier meritorious books, “he Tasmanians” and “The Natives of Sarawak and British North Borneo,” will know what to expect in a new work by that enthusiastic and indefatigable student. One is impressed with Mr. Roth's evident intention to be quite fair, and to present to his readers all the available data, but the literal quotations from various authors lead to inevitable repetition and occasional contradiction. As in his book on Borneo, Mr. Roth has been at great pains in collecting from scattered sources very numerous interesting illustrations, which materially enhance the value of the book. Mr. Roth appears to have a predilection for issuing limited editions of his books, and we are informed that “the number of copies of this work is limited to 320, and no other or cheaper edition will be issued.”
