Description

About The Book: In this book, the author departs from the original plan of releasing a second edition, opting instead for an alphabetically arranged compendium. Encompassing diverse facets of the Indian and Philippine Archipelagos, the book draws from seven additional years of local experience in India following the 1820, The passage delves into Musa textilis, a banana type known as abaca, extensively cultivated in Luzon and the Bisaya Islands for fibers, surpassing cotton in local importance. Dampier's 1686 account offers insights into abaca's dual utility for food and clothing, underlining its significant exports from Manila.
