BoRNEo being second only to Australia in
size as an island, the English government
has of late years been perseveringly attempt
ing to acquire possession of it, and has
made some progress in establishing foot
hold there. But in so doing it has come in
collision with the dogged obstinacy of Spain,
which has long had colonial establish
ment there, and which has of late revived
all the ambition of the old Spanish power
for colonial aggrandizement.
