Adventures Among the Dyaks of Borneo

Frederick Boyle
Although trained as a lawyer in Britain, Boyle spent a fair amount of his life as a gentleman traveller and published his experiences. This account is of one of his first voyages with his brother to Sarawak in 1863. As was usual with most Victorian travellers he mixed his time between entertainment amongst his fellow expatriates with hunting forays and making notes of the peoples, countryside and flora and fauna around him. Poor Hardback First Edition Pages -.xii, 324 and 8 page publisher's catalogue. Engraved frontispiece, tissue guard and engraving on the title page.
