Omschrijving

The Life of Stamford Raffles is a biography written by Demetrius Charles Boulger and published in 1897. The book is a comprehensive account of the life and achievements of Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, a British statesman and colonial administrator who is best known for founding the city of Singapore. Boulger's biography traces Raffles' life from his birth in Jamaica in 1781 to his death in England in 1826. It covers his early years in London, his time in the East India Company, and his various postings in Southeast Asia, including his role in the British occupation of Java and the founding of Singapore. The book also explores Raffles' personal life, including his marriage to Sophia Hull and his relationships with various figures in the colonial administration. Boulger provides a detailed analysis of Raffles' character, his motivations, and his legacy, and offers insights into the political and social context of the time. Overall, The Life of Stamford Raffles is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Southeast Asia, colonialism, and the British Empire. It is a well-researched and engaging biography that sheds light on the life of one of the most important figures in the region's history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
