The Golden Chersonese and the Way Thither

An intrepid explorer and the first woman to be made a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, Isabella Bird (1831–1904) made her journey to the Golden Chersonese (the ancient name of the Malay Peninsula) in 1879. This epistolary account describes her journey, from arriving in Hong Kong to find the city ablaze, to leaving Pinang and the Malacca Straits the following year. First published in 1883 and reprinted in the Stanford Travel Classics series.
