| Collection | George IV Calendar as Prince, Regent and King |
| Description | Scott writes that the settlement is 'without Laws, Police or efficient Magistrate'', and advocates for a change in government. He describes the competition between different groups who can survive on different amounts of resources. He states that 'our artisans by labour here cannot live in company with Chinese; and Chinese Artisans cannot live in company with the Natives of India'. He advocates for Penang to become a free port, and discusses trade, including tin, pepper, sugar, coffee, cinnamon and tea; and the drugs found in the vicinity and their utility as dyes.
