The account contains extensive descriptions of the Minahasa, the towns of Tondano and Manado. It also includes a description of the Chinese New Year celebrations in Manado, economic conditions, migrations and the history of the Minahasa, in particular the contacts with Europeans & the influence of Christianity. Hickson's original object was to investigate certain corals. In the book he describes in some detail the marine biology, animals and plants but also the customs of the native peoples, their beliefs, culture, etc. Hickson was a member of the Zoological Society. He travelled through the areas which were visited earlier by Wallace, Forbes and Guillemard but he also relates of islands that have been little reported on up to that time. The work includes a charming coloured lithographed frontispiece, 2 folding maps with blue background of Minahassa and the islands between the Philippines and Celebes, 6 full-page lithographed plates mostly of landscapes and 29 views and plates of natural history and artefacts of the native peoples in text, among which also an image of his dog: "Tommy Kwack, a Menado dog, my friend and companion in many of the adventures recorded in this volume".With the ex-libris of F.C. Taylor pasted on first fly-leaf; some foxing in text. Fine copy of this travel account giving many details of the flora & fauna and natives of the Malay Archipelago.
