Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Progress of the Filipino People Toward Self-Government
Privateering and robbery have a natural attraction for them. When ever the occasion presents itself, they rob one another, even if they be neighbors or relatives. Any native who possesses a basketful of rice will not seek for more, or do any further work until it is finished. Thus does their idleness surpass their covetousness.
I believe that these natives could be easily subdued by good treat ment and the display of kindness.'
