Rodney Mundy : Narrative of Events in Borneo and Celebes Down to the Occupation of Labuan, from the Journals of James Brooke

'The book ["The Rescue"] which has found favour in your eyes has been inspired in a great measure by the history of the first Rajah's enterprise and even by the lecture [i.e.reading] of his journals as partly reproduced by Captain Mundy and others.[...].
