Description
Excerpt from The Pagan Tribes of Borneo, Vol. 1 of 2: A Description of Their Physical, Moral and Intellectual Condition, With Some Discussion of Their Ethnic Relations
IN writing this book we have aimed at presenting a clear picture of the pagan tribes of Borneo as they existed at the close of the nineteenth century. We have not attempted to embody in it the observa~ tions recorded by other writers, although we have profited by them and have been guided and aided by them in making our own observations. We have rather been content to put on record as much information as we have been able to obtain at first hand, both by direct observation of the people and of their possessions, customs, and manners, and by means of innumerable conversations with men and women of many tribes.
