The 111alays have always excited con•idera file speculation, from Ilie clic ttttt stance of their being esiiiently in a retrogiaile state; but where were we to look for their history ? 1.1 their literary coinpositioos they seldom go further hick thou the introduction of Mahirinettniiiiin, except to give an account of Noah's ark. or some romantic tile, boar which little or nothing can be collected. It was my good 'intone in Java to discover the vestiges of a former high state of literature and the tort+, in poems, iii the ruins of temples, in si 'dour d image., in ancient inocriptions; nothing of [hit kind was Supposed to exist arnoug the Malay:.
