Gullick's account of the historical development of Kuala Lumpur is a natural companion to his \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.mbras.org.my\/monograph28.html\"\u003e\u003ci\u003eHistory of Selangor 1766-1939\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, published in 2004, and as far as possible should be read together, for the latter provides an illuminating foil without which one's understanding of the organic development of Kuala Lumpur would be incomplete, as Kuala Lumpur had originally been part of Selangor and had, in fact, become its state capital from 1880 onwards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpting for a characteristically placid narrative style - carefully avoiding the lumber of historical jargon and complicated theories - Gullick proceeds to examine various aspects of Kuala Lumpur history through a number of broad themes chronologically ordered. The reader is taken from the first opening lines on a fascinating odyssey of the capital's rise from humble and turbulent beginnings in the middle of the 19th century to its pre-eminent position as the socioeconomic and political hub of Malaya on the eve of the Second World War.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlmost nothing escapes Gullick's meticulous scrutiny, from the construction of roads, bridges, stately public buildings and parks to amusing anecdotes about the great and the good, presented objectively and without a hint of bias or priggish self-censorship. Gullick intersperses his account throughout with a judicious selection of excerpts from rare sources otherwise difficult to obtain in the form of long-forgotten articles, memoirs, private journals and letters. The inclusion of Appendix A - reproduced verbatim from excerpts of a 1954 special supplement in the \u003ci\u003eMalay Mail\u003c\/i\u003e - in the form of recollections of Edith Stratton Brown and Basil Joaquim of early Kuala Lumpur is especially valuable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGullick's book describes Kuala Lumpur's changing physical, cultural and social setting, and the emergence of new business undertakings, health regulations, and recreational facilities. Readers will be treated to a thoroughly detailed account of early efforts to lay out the city, the expansion of the city's limits from what is currently Chinatown to the area around the Selangor Secretariat buildings which became the heart of the federal capital, and beyond. Drawing on personal memoirs, archival sources and published accounts, Gullick documents how each of the local community - Malay, Chinese, Indian and others - developed a strong interlinking network and responded to the remarkable forces which transformed Kuala Lumpur into a thriving urban settlement within a few decades of its existence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e__\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"940\" border=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd valign=\"top\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"titleredblack\"\u003eA History of Kuala Lumpur 1856-1939\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy J.M.

Only a hundred copies were printed and about a third of these were distributed throughout the East India Company establishments in London and Calcutta, where they incomprehensibly disappeared, as did most of the copies that were left in the Penang secretariat. In his introduction to this reprint of Anderson's most significant work, Bastin renders a fascinating account of the whole history of the book subsequent to its publication, the inexplicable fate of most of its printed copies and lists the few known copies of this exceedingly rare volume which have been known to survive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnderson wrote the book in the hope of dispelling current misconception about the nature of the tributary relationship between Kedah and Siam; indeed Anderson's implicit purpose seems to have been to show that it was advantageous to British interests should it decide to intervene in the affairs of Kedah. Whatever the purpose may have been, Anderson's book, though perhaps imperfect in many places being the product of an ambitious and impetuous spirit, presented an exceedingly meticulous account of the prevailing conditions of the Malay States in the Western part of the peninsula in the first half of the nineteenth century. As a source on historical geography, Anderson's work has unparallelled value and foreshadowed the writings of latter-day colonial scholar-administrators who described the Malay Peninsula in scrupulous and exhaustive detail such as Maxwell, Swettenham and Low.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the MBRAS volume is a facsimile reprint of the original, Anderson's spelling of place names would have undergone some very fundamental changes in keeping with current developments in the national language.

During the next sixteen years, he held a succession of official posts, including Assistant to the Accountant and Auditor (1816), Assistant to Secretary to Government (1817), Assistant to Warehousekeeper (1818), Sub-Treasurer and Assistant to Warehousekeeper (1819), Deputy Warehousekeeper and Malay Translator (1820), Deputy Accountant, Deputy Auditor, and Accountant to Recorder's Court and Commissioner of Court of Requests with the rank of Factor (1822), Paymaster and Malay Translator with the rank of Junior Merchant (1825), Accountant and Auditor, and Acting Secretary to Government (1826), and Secretary to Government and Malay Translator with the rank of Senior Merchant. In 1829, he went on home leave and retired from the service of the East India Company shortly afterwards in order to engage in mercantile activities in England. Apart from the present publication, Anderson's other writings include two pamphlets on British relations with the Malay states of Peninsular Malaysia and East Sumatra, along with two other travel accounts of a mission undertaken to the east coast of Sumatra and Acheh.

When the occupation forcibly cut them off from China, Chinese residents began to look inwards towards Malaya and stake political claims, leading inevitably to a political contest with the Malays.

It has supplied the element of personal devotion and direct apprehension of Divine Realities which the more formal and practical character of orthodox ritual tend to overshadow. Thinkers like Ghazali and Ibn Arabi, such poets as Ibn al-Farid, Rumi, Hafiz and Jami were greatly inspired by the lives and sayings of the early Sufis. In this volume Professor Arberry has written the first short history of Sufism to appear in any language, illustrating the development of its doctrines with copious quotations from its literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArthur John Arberry (12 May 1905 in Portsmouth – 2 October 1969 in Cambridge) FBA was a respected British orientalist. A prolific scholar of Arabic, Persian, and Islamic studies, he was educated at Portsmouth Grammar School and Pembroke College, Cambridge. His translation of the Qur’an into English, The Koran Interpreted, is one of the most prominent written by a non-Muslim scholar, and widely respected amongst academics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormerly Head of the Department of Classics at Cairo University in Egypt, Arberry returned home to become the Assistant Librarian at the Library of the India Office. During the war he was a Postal Censor in Liverpool and was then seconded to the Ministry of Information, London which was housed in the newly constructed Senate House of the University of London. Arberry was appointed to the Chair of Persian at the School of Oriental and African Studies SOAS, University of London 1944–47. He subsequently became the Sir Thomas Adams’s Professor of Arabic at Cambridge University and a Fellow of Pembroke College, Cambridge, his alma mater, from 1947 until his death in 1969.

We see the world’s great cities through the eyes of traders, explorers, soldiers, diplomats, pilgrims and tourists; the experiences of emperors and monarchs sit alongside those of revolutionaries and artists, but also those of ordinary people who found themselves in remarkable situations, like the medieval Chinese abbot who was shown round the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris by the King of France himself.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSome of the writers seek to provide a straightforward, accurate description of all they have seen, while others concentrate on their subjective experiences of the city and encounters with the inhabitants.
