which no British subject is again likely,
for a long time, to possess. A political
mission to Bali and Celebes* and much
intercourse with thè tribes and nations
frequenting Java for commercial purposes,
make up the amount of his personal experience.
The sketches of Antiquities were executed
chiefly by a Native of Java, and they
have at least the merit of being drawn with
minute fidelity. The Map was compiled
and engraved, with great care, by Mr J o h n
W a l k e r of the Admiralty, and the Author
hopes he does no more than justice to that
gentleman, when he says, that it is the
compietesi yet submitted to the public.. In
the Appendix to the Third Volume a brief
explanation is given of the nature of the
materials from which it has been drawn.
