TO E. DU PERRON
"... and named it Mirror of the Indies,
because it tells not only of many
common affairs and of those described
by others but because it recounts
many noteworthy incidents and the
circumstances of noteworthy people
and events. These the Mirror of the
Indies sincerely relates, and without,
as they say, buttering anyone up."
Nicolaus de Graaff in his preface to his
Mirror of the Indies (Oost-Indise spiegel, 1703)
