"The Expedition to Borneo of H.M.S. Dido" by Captain the Hon. Henry Keppel is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The text chronicles Keppel’s time commanding the British warship Dido as it investigates the piracy rampant in Borneo, detailing interactions with local leaders, especially James Brooke, the Rajah of Sarawak. The narrative delves into the socio-political landscape of Borneo, including the customs of its people, particularly the Dyaks, against the backdrop of European colonial interests. The opening of the book sets the stage for Keppel's mission after the Chinese War, highlighting his chance meeting with James Brooke, a man who plans to improve the lives of Borneo's populace. Keppel recalls his preparations for the expedition, the challenges he anticipates, and an earnest desire to help foster European curiosity and trade in the region. The careful orchestration of relationships between the British and local leaders, such as Rajah Muda Hassim, offers insights into the complexities of colonial interactions, revealing early attempts at diplomacy and respect for local customs amidst the overarching theme of imperial ambition.
