Yesterdays In The Philippines By Joseph Earle Stevens An Ex Resident Of Manila The author spent two years living in Manila and traveling among the islands. He writes about his impressions of the people, their customs, religion and the climate. He also discusses the hemp, sugar and tobacco industry.
