1)  Colonial slash?

"Stamford Raffles was at the romantic edge of this Enlightenment quest, seeking in the rustic Javanese or highland Sumatran the noble vestige of once-great civilisations. Soon after arriving in Penang in 1805 as assistant secretary and commencing his study of the Malay language, Raffles became intimate with Dr John Leyden, a learned Scottish surgeon of almost his own youthfulness and romantic disposition, who had been a collaborator of Sir Walter Scott before leaving Edinburgh. Together they formed their vision of the Malays as one of the language-based ‘nations’ that Johann Gottfried Herder and his counterparts in the English Romantic movement, such as Scott, had seen the world divided into." (Reid 2001: 303)

I doubt that is what Anthony Reid meant.  Still, I LOL'ed.

2)  Goren & Eames?
