SOME OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
"Contains probably the most intimate and comprehensive account that has yet appeared of the Sea Dyaks of Sarawak.... It is so pleasantly written that the reader forgets that it is learned."—The Times.
"We heartily commend this book to the learned public."—The Athenæum.
"The author has been completely successful."—The Bookman.
"Pleasant to read, and gives a really good account of an interesting race."—The Illustrated London News.
"Mr Gomes is a skilled and gifted investigator, and his book is a valuable contribution to Eastern anthropology."—The Outlook.
"Let our quotations serve to introduce a book as fascinating as it is authoritative."—The Sketch.
"Mr Gomes' book is no hasty piece of work; it is the result of seventeen years spent in Sarawak.... Mr Gomes gives a very full account of the whole culture and life of the Sea Dyaks."—The Saturday Review.
"It is emphatically good. Mr Gomes speaks as one having authority. He has certainly unique experience, sympathy, insight, comprehension, a sense of proportion, and he is not without the quality of humour and dramatic instinct, and his style, simple and clear, is not without literary distinction. He has produced a book that ought to take high rank."—The Englishman (Calcutta).
"Mr E. H. Gomes' absorbing book."—The Daily Mail.
