Sir Stamford Raffles: Builders Of Greater Britain is a biography written by Hugh Edward Egerton and published in 1897. The book explores the life and achievements of Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, a British statesman and founder of modern Singapore.

The book also covers Raffles’ contributions to the study of natural history, his efforts to promote education and culture in the region, and his legacy as a visionary leader. Egerton’s biography offers a comprehensive and insightful look at one of Britain’s most influential figures in the 19th century, and sheds light on the complex history of colonialism in Southeast Asia.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
