To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

The last number of the Journal of the Archipelago which we have seen, renders an account of the importations of Gutta for the first six months of the present year, showing that they were made from eight ports of the peninsular, five of the neighbouring islands, seven of Sumatra, and three of Borneo. The exports in the same period amounted to about 7>000 cwts., which would make the annual exports about 14,000.
The first export, was in 1840, and it barely amounted to two cwts. Down to July last,
...the whole quantity exported was not less than 27,000 cwts. almost wholly to England. The collection of this commodity has, in fact, stimulated native industry in a degree never before experienced; and thus British skill, ingenuity, and capital, under the auspices of free trade, are furnishing employment to rude and remote tribes whose very names and localities are unknown to their benefactors.
This is commerce; of which honest and judicious Dampier said, a century and a half ago, speaking of these very people, " The more trade, the more civiUty ; and, on the contrary, the less trade, the more barbarity and inhumanity." The following extract from the Art Journal, gives a very interesting accoimt of the process of manufactur- ing this material : — " The crude Gutta Percha is, in the first place, cut into thin sUces in a very ingenious manner.
