To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
All the great nations of the continent are in the same predicament as the Siamese, Cochin Chinese, and Chinese themselves. Cruises against the infidels were and are constantly certain of receiving the approbation of aU Arab teachers settled in the Malay coun- tries. The practice of piracy, however, is now an evil too extensive, too formidable to be cured by reasoning, and must at all events be put down by a strong hand; though pre- cautions against its recurrence may be taken in the system whic...h shall be adopted with regard to Malay States, by rendering every chieftain answerable for his own territory, and punishing in an exemplary manner refractory chiefs." The document to be submitted to the Sultan took a longer time to prepare than its substance warranted ; for it proved to be a mere permission to reside in Sarawak in order to " seek for profit." ''On my remarking that this paper expressed nothing, Muda Hassim said I must not think that it was the one understood between us, but merely for him to show to the Sultan in the first place." The explanation was unsatisfactory, but Brooke accepted it.
