In 'A History of Sarawak under Its Two White Rajahs 1839-1908', C. A. Bampfylde and S. Baring-Gould provide an in-depth look into the reign of the British Brooke family, who founded and ruled the Raj of Sarawak from 1841 to 1946. This history book also recounts the early Chinese and Hindu-Javanese influences, the rise of the Malays, the decline of Brunei, and the earliest records of Sarawak. It also details the making of Sarawak under James Brooke, the suppression of piracy, and the battles with the pirates, and includes an account of the Chinese Rebellion and Secret Societies, the Sherip Masahor, and the last of the pirates.
