N2  - 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 


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 

While criticized for occasional inaccuracy and colonial bias, historically it provides valuable first-hand details and quotes from now-lost sources
