Indonesia: 25 years since the fall of Suharto – we need revolution, not reformation! By Ted Sprague, In Defence of Marxism, 26 May 2023). “A quarter of century ago, on 21 May 1998, the much-hated dictator of Indonesia, Suharto, was overthrown by a mass revolutionary uprising. Although this moment is widely known as Reformation (Reformasi), it was truly a revolution.”

By Ted Sprague (In Defence of Marxism, 15 April 2011). “The 1997 economic crisis that hit the South East Asian countries, in the changed conditions of Indonesia led to revolution in 1998 and the ousting of the old regime. However, it failed to remove the bourgeoisie from power, who adopted ‘Reformasi’ as a means of channelling the revolution down safe lines …”

Bartlett, T. Allom, and Other Artists. With a New Life of the Poet, and Notices, Critical and Biographical[1] by Allan Cunningham. Published in London by George Virtue. No year is given explicitly, but "James Gibson 1856" has been handwritten inside the front cover, it's dedicated to a MP, Archibald Hastie of Paisley, who was no longer a MP by 1857, and some of the artists and engravers were dead before 1842. As such, I'm going with c. 1841 as the year, though it could be as late as 1856, when James Gibson evidently acquired.
