A Grammar and Dictionary of the Malay Language, With a Preliminary Dissertation: Malay and English, and English and Malay Dictionaries

This work delves into the Grammar and Dictionary of the Malay Language, complemented by an introductory Dissertation, presented across two comprehensive volumes. The text explores the linguistic correlation from Madagascar to Easter Island, spanning over two hundred degrees of longitude and seventy of latitude equivalent to a fifth of the Earth's surface. Encompassing the Indian Archipelago, Philippines, North and South Pacific islands, and Madagascar, the region hosts diverse races, contributing to varied states of civilization influenced by monsoons, which play a role in the extensive language dissemination under examination.
