= Bastin/ Brommer p.23 and note 377: "The French edition [of: "Gezigten uit Neêrlands Indië, naar de natuur geteekend en beschreven"] is much rarer than the Dutch edition(s). (...). This work differs from the Dutch edition in that it was issued without the halftitle, the two Dedication leaves, and the text, there being only a Contents leaf in the French edition."; cf.
