About This Book

The author records a mid-19th-century travelogue and administrative survey of the Philippine archipelago based on a short visit, combining descriptive travel scenes around Manila and neighboring islands with organized chapters on history, geography, climate, government, population, customs, languages, religion, education, military and judicial systems, natural resources, agriculture, minerals, manufactures, commerce, taxation, and the opening of new ports. Observations mix local anecdotes, statistical and administrative detail, and practical recommendations for commercial development. The work is accompanied by plans, charts, and illustrations that document towns, landscapes, and ports.

INDIAN SONG OF THE PHILIPPINES.

(From Mallat).

[MIDI | MusiScore]

II.

Signos at planetas nañga saan cayo

Yoao cametayan ñgaioy sumaclodo

Anhin coi ang huhay sa pamahong ito

Valaring halaga oong ang sintay lito.

III.

Mahintai hintaica ih un macamatai

Itun pinatai mo con paghalican

Indi co namauica acoy pagluisan

Ijelit mo laman tatavina jncai.

I.

To know is to remember thee;

And yet in grief I rove,

Because thou wilt not fathom me,

Nor feel how much I love.

II.

All traitors are the stars on high—

For broken hopes I grieve:

I cannot live—I fain would die;

’Tis misery to live.

III.

Sweet bird! yet flutter o’er my way,

And chant thy victim’s doom;

Be thine, be thine the funeral lay

That consecrates my tomb.
