New. * Currently 7th  in our best seller list for 2013! * As Geoff Wade of the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies, Singapore, states in his foreword, this work is 'the most detailed account ever to be written of the Settlement of Penang in the first thrity years of its existence.' The author's extensive research through primary sources scattered between the UK and Australia has enabled him to bring to life Britain's first attempt at expanding its colonial reach eastwards following its consolidation of power in India.
