About the author
Born in Manchester on January 19, 1871, Walter Alleyne Ireland was a British traveler and author known for writing about the tropical colonies of the British Empire. Sources found during this search identify him as the son of journalist Alexander Ireland and biographer Annie Elizabeth Nicholson Ireland, and as the brother of composer John Ireland.
He is especially associated with works on colonial government and life in Southeast Asia and other tropical regions, including The Far Eastern Tropics. His writing combined travel observation with strong interest in administration, economics, and imperial policy, which made his books part travel narrative and part political study.
Ireland died on December 23, 1951. A suitable verified portrait image could not be confidently confirmed from the pages available in this search, so no profile image is included.
