Summary	The book is dedicated to Anna Bourgerel, niece of the author. It has an introduction explaining the motives of writing it: to explain to the readers of Alexandre Dumas’ Mille-et-un Fantômes that he (Gironière) is a real person. This is followed by a note of the editor with a letter of G.R. Russel favoring Gironière. The book contains twenty-one chapters starting with his birth in France, until the death of his son in Jala-Jala. It ends with notes about the Philippines (pp. 359-449). The writer was a medical practitioner in the Philippines from 1814-1824 and founder of a colony in Jala-Jala. The work is the result of his twenty years personal experience and observations. His experience was fruitful. (see Retana, no. 875)
