About This Item
London: Faber and Faber, 1966 Time and perspective have increased the stature of Sir Stamford Raffles, from whose work grew the modern Far East. Maurice Collis's biography gives both a clearer and a more human portrayal of this great administrator, humanitarian, pioneer orientalist and collector of animals and plants. Admirers of Maurice Collis will be glad that Raffles should have him for a biographer. On every count of style, scholarship and humour, as well as for the justice done to a good and unusual man, this book stands high on the biographical scene.'
