Batavia Jakarta Jakarta Amsterdam s. d. 1780 12.5 x 18.7 cm Broché This critical survey of the Dutch possessions in Indonesia survives in three versions English French and Dutch without it being possible to determine with certainty which constitutes the original edition.Only three copies are recorded in the CCF. Written at the outset of the Fourth Anglo-Dutch War 17801784 triggered by the early recognition of American independence by the United Provinces this pamphlet seeks to highlight the weaknesses of the administration of the Dutch East India Company and the vulnerability of its possessions to a French or British attack.In fact hostilities quickly turned to the disadvantage of the Dutch who in 1784 were compelled to make numerous colonial concessions following the Treaty of Paris. Philippe Fermin or Firmin 17201790 was a colonial physician who spent most of his life in Suriname which he famously described but he also published on various other colonial subjects.A disbound copy presented in a modern temporary marbled paper wrapper; page 13 has been slightly trimmed resulting in the loss of a letter at the end of certain words; a few light spots of foxing. s. n. unknown
