Excerpt from Travels in South-Eastern Asia, Embracing Hindustan, Malaya, Siam, and China, Vol. 1 of 2: With Notices of Numerous Missionary Stations, and a Full Account of the Burman Empire; With Dissertations, Tables, Etc Before leaving a place, I generally submitted my notes to several persons for a careful revision. If, therefore, I should be convicted of errors, they are such as the best informed persons on the spot have fallen into, and as my reader would have imbibed, had he been in my place. Some errors may be charged to me, through mistake of the objector; for Often, when I read my notes in various places, gentlemen dissented from some statements with great confidence, the correctness of which they admitted on further examination; which examination they would not have made, had I not quoted some influential name as my informer.
