FORMERLY LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR OF THAT ISLAND AND ITS ARTS AND SCIENCES AT BATAVIA. IN TWO VOLUMES. VOL. I. SECOND EDITION. LONDON: JOHN MURRAY, ALBEMARLE-STREET. MDCCCXXX. ΤΟ HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS THE PRINCE REGENT. SIR, THE gracious permission which I have received to dedicate these volumes to your Royal Highness, affords me an opportunity of interesting your Royal Highness in favour of the amiable and ingenuous people whose country they describe. The high respect they entertain for British valour and justice, and the lively gratitude they retain for the generous system of British Legislation, will, I am sure, give them a strong claim upon your Royal Highness's good opinion. |
