Note 11 — Chapter VIII · [CONTINUATION OF STERN’S COMPOSITION.]
Alphonse Nahuys translation
“The Governor-General at Buitenzorg11 is just, and desires that every one should do his duty; but powerful as he is, and commanding all authority in the cities, and the elders of the villages, and disposing of the army on land, and of the ships at sea, he likewise can no more than the King see where injustice has been done, for the injustice is far from him.
