Rajah Brooke: The Englishman As Ruler Of An Eastern State is a historical book written by Spenser St. John. The book tells the story of James Brooke, an Englishman who became the ruler of Sarawak, a state in Borneo, in the mid-19th century. The book provides a detailed account of Brooke's life, from his early days as a sailor to his rise to power as the Rajah of Sarawak. The book describes how Brooke arrived in Sarawak in 1839 and quickly became involved in local politics, eventually taking control of the state and establishing himself as the ruler. The book also explores Brooke's relationship with the local people and his efforts to modernize the state, including the introduction of new technologies and the establishment of a legal system.Throughout the book, St. John provides a vivid portrayal of life in Sarawak during Brooke's reign, including the various cultural and political challenges that he faced. The book also explores the impact of Brooke's rule on Sarawak and the wider region, including his efforts to combat piracy and slavery.Overall, Rajah Brooke: The Englishman As Ruler Of An Eastern State is a fascinating historical account that provides a unique insight into the life and legacy of James Brooke and his impact on the state of Sarawak.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
