In Court and Kampong
The nineteen tales and sketches, which are enclosed within the covers ofthis Book, relate to certain brown men and obscure things in a distantand very little known corner of the Earth. The Malay Peninsula--thatslender tongue of land which projects into the tepid seas at the extremesouth of the Asiatic Continent--is but little more than a name to mostdwellers in Europe. But, even in the Peninsula itself, and to themajority of those white men whose whole lives have been passed in theStraits of Malacca, the East Coast and the remote interior, of which Ichiefly write, are almost as completely unknown.
