    The island of Sumatra, which, in point of situation and extent, holds a conspicuous rank on the terraqueous globe, and is surpassed by few in the bountiful indulgences of nature, has in all ages been unaccountably neglected by writers insomuch that it is at this day less known, as to the interior parts more especially, than the remotest island of modern discovery; although it has been constantly resorted to by Europeans for some centuries, and the English have had a regular establishment there for the last hundred years.

    Pulau Sumatera, yang dalam hal situasi dan luasnya, memiliki peringkat yang mencolok di dunia yang terraqueous, dan dilampaui oleh sedikit orang dalam pemanjaan alam yang melimpah, telah di segala zaman diabaikan oleh para penulis sedemikian rupa sehingga pada titik inilah hari kurang dikenal, untuk bagian interior lebih khusus, dari pulau penemuan modern yang paling terpencil; meskipun telah terus-menerus digunakan oleh orang Eropa selama beberapa abad, dan Inggris telah memiliki pendirian tetap di sana selama seratus tahun terakhir.
