Book Description
Excerpt from Some Notes on Java and Its Administration by the Dutch At Sydney in the spring of 1889 A. D., while I was negotiating a passage to England for my wife and myself via China and Japan, an opportunity unexpectedly offered itself of visiting Java en route to Hong Kong. We did not let the chance slip, and at once, as became globe trotters, searched the booksellers' shops for anything which might enable us, on reaching the island, to pose before our fellow-travellers as experts in the matter of "Krises" and connoisseurs in coffee.
