Reis naar het oostelijk gedeelte van den Indischen Archipel, in het jaar 1821 door C.G.C. Reinwardt
註釋Caspar Georg Carl Reinwardt (1773-1854) left Germany at the age of 14 to join his brother, a chemist at Amsterdam. After his study of natural history he left for Indonesia in 1816 where he was appointed as director of affairs of agriculture, arts and sciences. Apart from being the first director of the Botanical Garden in present-day Bogor, he travelled all over the Dutch East Indies. This book describes his travel from Batavia to the Moluccas, Gorontalo and Menado. At the Moluccas (1821-1822) he visited Banda, Ambon, Haruku, Saparua and Nusa Laut and gives information on villages, houses, population numbers, natural resources and food, as well as data on the cultivation and trade of nutmeg. In 1822 he returned to the Netherlands and became professor at the university of Leiden. The work includes a biography.
