Illustrated with pictures of the period, this is a brief historical overview of the founding, planning and construction of Singapore, followed by details of its development into a thriving port. The text recalls its major landmarks and places of interest, as well as customs, trade and lifestyles.

Founded by Sir Stamford Raffles in 1819, Singapore confirmed British control of the Malayan peninsula. Drawing on the impressions of a century of visitors and over 40 contemporary illustrations, this is a vivid sketch of the planning and construction of Singapore, and its development into a thriving port. In addition to recalling its major landmarks and places of interest, there are details of Singapore's polyglot peoples, whose customs, trades, and lifestyles gave the city-state its unique atmosphere.
