ABSTRACT
June 4. The King paid us a visit at our quarters, and expressed himself highly gratified with some botanical engravings: he said white men tried to know so much they would spoil their heads by and by. We were allowed to take a walk in the town to day, in charge of two captains. We had scarce] y passed the palace when two men were decapitated for cowardice: three others hail been executed during the night.
