Borneo bagian barat :Geografis, statistis, historis 1856

Kritik yang sering dilontarkan orang kepada Veth adalah bahwa ia tidak pernah datang dan tinggal di Hindia Belanda, kritik ini ada benarnya, karena untuk keperluan penelitian ber- bagai cabang keilmuan, seperti antropologi, etnologi, dan geografi, orang harus melaku- kannya di lapangan, agar pendapatnya tidak diragukan.
