The Inhabitants of the Philippines
Frederic H. Sawyer, a British engineer who lived and worked in the Philippines for many years and spoke Spanish and Tagalog, published The Inhabitants of the Philippines in 1900, because he felt that no English book did justice to the people of the islands. He describes the landscape and natural wealth of the archipelago, its Spanish administration and religious orders, the many peoples of Luzon, the Visayas and Mindanao, their customs, agriculture and trade, and the events of the revolution against Spain and the arrival of the Americans, including the rise of Aguinaldo. Sympathetic and full of firsthand observation, it is a valuable account of the Philippines at a turning point in their history.
