These are the private journals of Sir Frank Swettenham kept during five missions to Perak between April 1874 and February 1876. They mostly record his experiences on the missions, but there are also some references to his work as Assistant Resident at Selangor at the the time. The journals mainly reveal prevailing attitudes of British colonial officials at the beginning of the main British intervention in the country.
