SLAVERY IN THE MALAY STATES. LANGAT, 30 th June Pluto last week, accompanying His Excellency the Governor in a tour to some of the native States, His Excellency made inquiry of me with regard to the present state of debt-slavery in the Peninsula. This was a subject so large and important as hardly to admit of thorough explanation in a conversation; I therefore asked His Excellency's leave to report upon it. I now beg to give you a detailed account of the circumstances of debt-slavery as known to me personally. The evils to which I refer have hitherto been regarded as unavoidable, and a part of the ordinary relations between Rajahs and subjects. I may premise by saying that though the system of "debt-slavery," as it has been called, exists to some extent in all the States, it is only seen in its worst light where a Rajah or chief is the creditor and a subject the debtor. Few subjects in a Malay country are well off. The principal reason of this is, that as soon as a man or woman is known to be in possession of money, he or she would be robbed by the Rajah; or the money would be borrowed with no intention of future payment, whether the subject wished to lend or not.

    Extractions: COMPLETED! Pauline Elizabeth Hopkins was one of the first African Americans to publish a story with mystery and detection elements. The question of identity is crucial throughout this fast-paced melodrama, and almost no one is who or what they seem. Racial identity is shown as the underpining to personal identity; and whether someone is black or white utterly changes lives. The Negro maid, Venus Johnson, who does most of the actual detecting in the latter part of the book, is the earliest known black detective in fiction. Hopkins stresses Johnson's courage, resourcefulness, and above all, her intelligence. Kirsteen: The Story of a Scotch Family Seventy Years Ago COMPLETED! Margaret Oliphant and her protagonist Kirsteen had a number of experiences in common: the main one being that they each worked hard and supported other family members with little appreciation. Kirsteen's options, as a Scotswoman from an old but poor family, appear to be unpaid drudgery at home, or a loveless marriage. Rejecting both, Kirsteen escapes to London where she becomes, not Cinderella, but Cinderella's dressmaker. Though looked down upon by her family for choosing to work, and 'not having a man', Kirsteen becomes independent and financially stable in the life she makes for herself. Kirsteen is a startlingly modern novel in its treatment of women and work.

28. A Chapter On Perak
    A Chapter On Perak Letter XXIII by Isabella L.Bird Bishop (1831-1904) FromThe Golden Chersonese And The Way Thither by Isabella L.Bird Bishop (1831-1904  
    http://www.geocities.com/aizaris/chapter1
    
    Extractions: The interior of Perak is almost altogether covered with magnificent forests, out of which rise isolated limestone hills, and mountain ranges from five thousand to eight thousand feet in height. The scenery is beautiful. The neightbourhood of the mangrove swamps of the coast is low and swampy, but as the ground rises, the earth whish has been washed down from the hills becomes fertile, and farther inland the plains are so broken up by natural sand ridges which lighten the soil, that is very suitable for rice culture. ( Drawing of a stream in Perak - 1836 Tin is the most abundant of the mineral products of Perak, and, as in the other States, the supply is apparently inexhaustable. So far it is obtained in "stream works" only. The export of this metal has risen from 144,000 Sterling Pound in 1876 to 436,000 Sterling Pound in 1881. Tin mining continues to attract a steady number of Chinese immigration, and the Resident believes that the number of Chinamen has increased from 20,000 in 1879 to 40,000 in 1881. Wealth is reckoned in slabs of tin, and lately for an act of piracy a 'Raja' was fined so many slabs of tin, instead of so many hogsheads of oil, as he would have been on the West African coast. Gold is found in tolerable quantities, even by a Malay easy-going manner of searching for it, and diamonds and garnets are tolerable abundant. Gold can be washed with little difficulty from most of the river bedsm and from various alluvial deposits. The metal thus found is pure, but 'rough and shotty'. The nearer the mountains the larger the find. It is of a rich, red colour. Iron ore is abundant, but though coal has been found, it is not of any commercial value. The methods of mining both for tin and gold are of the most elementary kind, and it is probable that Perak has still vast metallic treasures to yield up to scientific explorations and Anglo-Saxon energy.

    Extractions: Be sure and check The Cultural Atlas of Japan as an opener. Much of the current ninja stuff from the likes of Paladin Press is a fantasy cult unto itself, but if you want to write a novel set in their world, then we bet you already have a lot of their books. The Charles E. Tuttle Company of Rutledge, Vermont, publishes a tremendous number of Japanese works in translation and scholarly English-language work: a copy of their catalog is a bibliography in itself. Also recommended are the Japan Travel Bureau Books sponsored by the Japanese government. We could not locate but one good book on costume, and that slim, but perhaps we haven't tried hard enough because we lazily just check in with Kabuki Hawai'i or the Honolulu Academy of the Arts when we have a question. See the monograph in this section. However, there is a new one out that is pretty good. Search for Books at
