A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Dutch orthography, with one or two slight modifications, has been preserved throughout the book. The Dutch oe has been represented by u; the exact sound inclines to that of the German ii ;dj and ij should be pronounced dchy, tchy, but with a very slight insistence on they ;nj is like the Spanish n, or the ni in onion; gis always hard. In the atlases those names commencing with tj which are most familiar to the traveller are spelt commencing with ch; but for the sake of uniformity the translator has, hardly without exception, kept to the correct spelling, only substituting ufor the Dutch oe.
