    • 1861, B. R. P. Hasselman, Mijne ervaring als fabriekant in de binnenlanden van Java, Martinus Nijhoff (publ.), page 9.
      Wil een inlander verhuizen, zoo verzoekt hij de buurlieden hem te helpen. Het huis wordt afgebroken, de verschillende vakken van de wanden draagt men in hun geheel over; de stijlen zijn ook gemakkelijk te transporteren, en aan den avond van den dag woont onze verhuizer op eene andere plaats.
