The Religion of the Dayaks, and the Political, Social and Religious Constitution of the Natives on the West Coast of Formosa is a book written by William Lobscheid in 1866. The book is a detailed account of the culture, religion, and social structure of the Dayak people, who are indigenous to the island of Borneo, as well as the natives on the west coast of Formosa, now known as Taiwan. Lobscheid was a missionary who spent several years living among the Dayak people, and his book provides a unique insight into their way of life. He describes their beliefs and practices, including their animistic religion, which involves the worship of spirits and ancestors. He also discusses their social structure, which is based on a system of clans and extended families, and their political organization, which is led by chiefs and elders.In addition to his observations of the Dayak people, Lobscheid also provides a detailed account of the natives on the west coast of Formosa. He describes their religion, which is a blend of Taoism, Buddhism, and ancestor worship, as well as their social and political structure.Overall, The Religion of the Dayaks, and the Political, Social and Religious Constitution of the Natives on the West Coast of Formosa is a fascinating and informative book that provides a valuable insight into the culture and way of life of two indigenous peoples 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.
