Schouten remained in Siam until 1636, during which time he was favourably accepted by the king, established trade with Holland, and aided the king in his campaigns against Patani. He was rewarded by being created a mandarin of the Siamese court. Schouten returned to Siam later in 1636 to present more gifts to the king and to negotiate new trade agreements. It was during this period that he prepared his report on the country, the first detailed study of Siam to be published in Dutch (Howgego p.946).

VERHOEFF, Pieter Willemsz. Journael ende verhael van alle het gene dat ghesien ende voor-ghevallen is op de reyse, gedaen door .. Pieter Willemsz. Verhoeven, admirael generael over 13 schepen, gaende naer de Oost-Indien, China, Philipines, ende byleggende rijcken, in den jare 1607 ende volgende. (Amsterdam, Joannes Janssonius, 1645).Oblong 8vo. Modern wrappers. With plate depicting the fortress on Banda. 214 pp. (text set in two columns). First Dutch edition; extracted from Commelin's collection of voyages. - This account of Verhoeff's voyages is a composite piece. It starts with the journal by the chief merchant Johan de Moelre and continued, after he was killed, by the fleet's treasurer Jacques Le Febure. Followed by extracts from the journal of Reynier Dirckszoon, the pilot aboard one of the ships which sailed to Japan, and the journal of Jacob Specx and Pieter Segerszoon also on Japan. This piece is followed by a report by Samuel Bloemaert about trade and negotiations on Borneo and Appolonius Schotte's accounts of the Moluccas and Gillis Seys report of 1627 on Amboina. These materials constitute a rich source of information about the expansion of Dutch power in the Moluccas, the negatiations with the inlanders, the war with the Spaniards, the details of trade, and the daily life of the Dutch stationed there. This account of Verhoeff's voyage was never separately reprinted during the 17th century. (Lach & Kley, III, p.471-472). Landwehr, VOC, 250. [Boeknr.: 31991 ]

Apart from the fact that De Grijs was the Padang agent of the Nederlandsche Handelmatschappij, little is known about him' (Bastin-Brommer p.47).

Amsterdam, P.N. van Kampen, 1870-71.2 volumes. Original pictorial cloth gilt (rebacked with the original spines laid down). With 2 maps (1 folding and coloured) 12 wood-engraved plates and 41 wood-engravings. XXIV,528; X,552 pp. First Dutch edition. - Wallace's (1823-1913) second, longest, and most significant expedition was to the relatively underexplored Malay Archipelago between 1854 and 1862. His journey took him first to Singapore and then Borneo, where he hunted and observed the orangutan (1855-1856). Heading east to the Moluccas group, he explored Amboyna and Ternate during 1857 and 1858. In 1858 Wallace traveled to Lombok and Bali in the Timor group, recognizing this group of islands as the boundary between the two primary continental influences dividing the natural history of the archipelago, the Indian sub-continent in the northwest, and Australia in the southeast. The remaining three years of Wallace's travels (1859-1862) took him east to the Papuan group, where he explored Macassar, the Aru Islands (where he studied the bird of paradise) then New Guinea. This was interspersed with return visits west to Ternate and Amboyna, and the Celebes group for the first time. He visited Sumatra before returning to England via Singapore (Speake, Encyclopedia, p.1264). This is a magnificent combination of interesting sketches of travel and vivid pictures of natural history.Bastin-Brommer N 564; Tiele 1195; Cat. KITLV p.5. [Boeknr.: 12707 ]
