Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Twenty-Five Years in British Guiana How much do we not owe to the many diaries and'. Reminiscences written by Englishmen and Frenchmen during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries? So, despite Mrs. Oliphant's strictures, and disregarding the fact that some indolent reviewers, if they condescend to notice this book, may put me down as a garrulous and vain old man, I shall proceed to write down my Recollections of British Guiana as it was during my connection with the colony from 1872 to -in the hope that my readers, gentle or otherwise, may find something therein both to amuse and instruct them.

APPENDIX C The following most amusing case between two Africans occurred in Mr. Turk's court, and was most inimitably reported by Mr. McTurk. Of course the spelling is conjectural and phonetic: -- William Henry summoned Thomas Hercules to answer an alleged charge of theft. Complainant asserted that defendant had stolen his duck, value five shillings. While the complaint was being read, defendant listened without interruption until the alleged value of the duck, five shillings, was stated, when he made the remark, "Duck price raise fo' true!" On being called upon to plead to the charge, he replied, "Wa da? Da tough, tough, someting fo' five shillin'; man no ha conseience. Bin sevin bit an' a half, fine someting; but whole five shillin' Guilty? No, sah, me isn't guilty. Hello!" The complainant was then sworn, and in answer to the magistrate stated that he lived at Water Lot, in the county of Essequibo. The defendant interrupted, said this statement was a lie, "cause he lib a' one trash house, inside cow-pasture." Proceeding, complainant stated that on a certain day he "bin hab one duck-drake, and de duck-drake always does walk in de trench wid de duck-hen; dem da catch shrimmies. One big trench bin deh right a we do' mout', me honour, an' we bin lib one side de trench and Tammas de oddah. Me always does see how Tammas does watch dem duck, hungry fashion."

This book was released on 2023-05-19 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first known biography of Sir Charles Bullen Hugh Mitchell G C M G, former Governor of the Straits Settlements and District Grand Master of the freemasons in the Eastern Archipelago.The book traces his early life as an officer in the Royal Marines, where he served for 15 years, ending up with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, as well as his long, distinguished career in the Colonial Service, serving Queen Victoria in many countries including Natal in Southern Africa during and after the Zulu Wars, British Honduras, British Guiana, Fiji and Singapore.It is his time in Singapore that is given extensive treatment in the book. Having been sworn in as Governor and Commander-in-Chief of The Straits Settlements and their Dependencies (the 'Colony') on 1 February 1894, Mitchell inherited a colony, which was in very serious financial difficulty. With his prudent financial management, the governor brought the Colony back to a strong financial position and completed many projects. He was also instrumental in the implementation of the Federation of Malay States and was its first High Commissioner.His governorship was cut short when he died suddenly at the Colony's Government House (the current Istana) on 7 December 1899 and was buried in Singapore.However, his legacy was written out by his successor Sir Frank Swettenham who would take credit for the Colony's achievements. To this end, this book will go towards correcting the history of Singapore and Malaya at that time.The book also contains one of the very few public accounts of freemasonry in Singapore during the 19th Century and those of prominent freemasons participating in the colonial administration and commercial sector in the Colony.
