Summary
The document presents Sheehan’s English translation of the Hikayat Abdullah, the well-known Malay autobiographical narrative of Abdullah Munsyi (c. 1797–1854), a prominent Malay writer and court scribe in early nineteenth-century Singapore and Malacca. The translation spans four pages within the journal issue, consistent with a brief excerpt or partial rendering rather than a complete translation of the full work.
