16768	Marsden, William	The History of Sumatra Containing An Account Of The Government, Laws, Customs And Manners Of The Native Inhabitants			.txt	text/plain	199240	7425	63	When on a former occasion it was asserted (and with too much confidence) that the name of Sumatra is unknown to the natives, who are ignorant of its being an island, and have no general name for it, the expression ought to have been confined to those natives with whom I had an opportunity of conversing, in the southern part of the west coast, where much genuineness of manners prevails, with little of the spirit of commercial enterprise or communication with other countries. Comparatively with the descriptions I have read of earthquakes in South America, Calabria, and other countries, those which happen in Sumatra are generally very slight; and the usual manner of building renders them but little formidable to the natives.	cache/16768.txt	txt/16768.txt
