This account of the manners and customs of the Sea-Dyaks at the end of the 19th century is unusual because the author, a clergyman, devotes most of the book to a detailed study of the people without the moralising that one usually expects from works of this type. There is a separate chapter devoted to missionary work. 80 pages. There are chapters also on
- Childbirth,
- Daily Life,
- Burial Rites,
- Omens,
- Spirits,
- Feasts and
- Religion.
