<br/><br/> Buckley compiles and weaves together his weekly Singapore Free Press columns, eyewitness accounts, correspondence, and official documents under the guidance of sources like Thomas Braddell, William Read, and James Davidson <br/><br/><br/>The result is a chronological, anecdotal recounting of Singapore’s formative years (1819–1867), touching on the founding by Stamford Raffles, institutions like Raffles Institution and Catholic missions, as well as daily social and economic life <br/><br/>While criticized for occasional inaccuracy and colonial bias, historically it provides valuable first-hand details and quotes from now-lost sources
