Deze proclamatie is tevinden in vol. I (from September 1811 to
September 1813) der „Proclamations, regulations, adverfcissements and
orders, printed and published in the island of Java, bij the British
Government and under its authority," Batavia, printed bij A. H. Hub
bard, at the Honorable Company's Printing Office. 1813. Dit werk ge
werd mij door de welwillende tusschenkomst van den hulpvaardigen sous
chef der afdeeling statistiek van de Algemeene Secretariealwaar ook
het Oud-Koloniaal archief bewaard wordt. Hetzelfde werk is wellicht
ook te vinden in de boekerij van het Bataviaasch genootschap van
kunsten en wetenschappen. Zij, die van dezen oorlog eene studie maken,
zullen er ook in vermeld vinden de voorwaarden van capitulatieop
den 17en September 1811 te Oenarang gesloten tusschen den Gouver
neur-Generaal Janssens en den Luitenant-Generaal Auchmuty. Voor
hen is het dus niet noodig, die capitulatie hier over te schrijven. N.
