The Monthly Review, Or Literary Journal, Enlarged, Vol. 28 by Ralph Griffiths Pdf
Excerpt from The Monthly Review, or Literary Journal, Enlarged, Vol. 28: From January to April, Inclusive, 1799 During this examination, the natives began to collect about them. One man exchanged a spear for some trinkets, but no other barter was efl'ected. Some looking-glasses being shewn to this man, he was so delighted with seeing the reflection of himself, that he ran off with them. As the people did not appear unfriendly, Lieutenant Broughton and a party walked along the shore towards their habitations, the boat keeping near them: but hostile preparations were soon observed to be snaking by the natives; and-those who had not spears collected large sticks.
