520 2 "By the dawn of the 19th century, the Netherlands had
established colonies and trading posts across Asia and the
rest of the world, linking them directly to international
networks of intellectual exchange and production. Drawing
on extensive new research, and bringing much new
scholarship before English readers for the first time,
this wide-ranging volume examines how knowledge was
created and circulated throughout the Dutch Empire, and
how these processes compared with those of the Imperial
Britain, Spain, and Russia. The results are of significant
interest for historians, anthropologists, geographers,
scholars of the history and philosophy of science"--
