First and only edition. - Classic illustrated description of Java, geographically arranged
by province, written by Van der Aa (1792-1857), author of many dictionaries,
historical and biographical works. Preceded by a historical sketch of the early Dutch
voyages to the Dutch East Indies. It has been compiled chiefly from other authors,
but has value for its large enumeration of facts on Javanese geography, topography,
ethnography, agriculture, commerce, natural history, etc. - Copy from the Dutch
Department of Colonies.
