Sobre este artículo
London: Printed for the author by Cox and Baylis, 1812. First edition, 4to, pp. [4], xv, [1], 589 [1]; rebound in gray cloth, gilt-lettered spine; overall appearance is fine but this copy lacks the half-title page and the first three leaves are in xerox facsimile. Marsden (1754-1836), orientalist and numismatist, "during an eight years' residence in Sumatra, did good official service as sub-secretary, and afterwards as principal secretary, to the government. He amused his leisure hours by writing verses and by acting female parts in a theatre at Bencoolen built and chiefly managed by his brother. He also mastered the vernacular tongue, a study which bore fruit later," in the present volume (DNB). Cordier, Indosinica, col. 1384.
