Recollections of Manilla and the Philippines

In 'Recollections of Manila and the Philippines', author Robert MacMicking shares his experiences and observations during a three-year residence in the colony in the mid-19th century. The Philippines at the time was showing promising signs of progress through the implementation of new commercial practices. As a result, MacMicking hoped to bring attention to the potential for trade and commerce in the region, particularly for his fellow countrymen. Though his account may have imperfections, MacMicking's unique perspective provides a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal moment in the Philippines' history.
