Max Havelaar
411
. . . .Emperor of the magnificent empire of Insulind, which winds about the equator like a garland of emeralds! . . . .
I ask Thee if it be thine Imperial will that the Havelaars should be bespattered with the mud of Slymerings and Drystubbles; and that thy more than thirty millions of Subjects far away should be ill-treated and should suffer extortion in thy name?
Edinburgh: T. Constable,
Printer to the Queen, and to the University
