"Past And Future Of Formosa" offers a comprehensive look at the island of Taiwan (Formosa) in the late 19th century. Written by William Campbell, a missionary and keen observer, the book delves into the island's history, its interactions with colonial powers, and the lives of its inhabitants. Campbell provides insights into the island's strategic importance, its natural resources, and the cultural dynamics at play during a period of significant transformation. This historical account combines elements of travel writing, colonial history, and anthropological observation, rendering it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Taiwan and its evolving relationship with the wider world.
