The history of Java.

London, Black, Parbury, and Allen, and John Murray, 1817.2 volumes. 4to. 19th century red morocco (Melbourne, Gassidy, 1899;inner joints restored), richly gilt. With 2 maps (one large folding map of Java, coloured in outline), 10 hand-coloured plates by William Daniell and 53 etched or aquatint plates (including alphabets and facsimiles of inscriptions, and musical scores), and some engraved vignettes. XLVIII,479; VI (VII-VIII 'List of plates' missing),288,(3),CCLX pp.
¶ First edition; with armorial bookplate of Sir Stephenson Hamilton. - Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles (1781-1826) 'was interested in every aspect of his subject, and devotes whole sections to Javan ethics, literature, poetry, music, and musical instruments, drama, games of skill and methods of hunting, besides the more ordinary matters of interest population, natural history, religion, antiquities, and the military system .. The history of Java stands very high in its own class, and the aquatint plates are full of interest' (Prideaux p.252-253). 'In terms of the pictorial depiction of Javanese costume and topography the importance of the History of Java can hardly be exaggerated .. The marriage of a scientifically original text with beautiful illustrations by an accomplished aquatint engraver resulted in a book about Indonesia of outstanding quality; indeed, a masterpiece' (Bastin-Brommer p.6-7). The ten coloured aquatints, though unsigned are by William Daniell, illustrate Javanese life and costume, and the Papuan boy who accompanied Raffles to England in 1816. The plate of the Borobudur is one of the first depictions of the monument. 'An influential work valued for the author's firsthand observations on the customs and condition of the Javanese under his administration as Governor-General during the British occupation of the Dutch East Indies (1811-1815)' (Von Hünersdorff, Kaffee,p.1213). Raffles' History of Java, the source of many basic Western ideas about the area, remains the starting point for studies of the Eastern archipelago. - A fine copy.Bastin-Brommer N 90; Abbey, Travel, 554; Tooley, Coloured Plates, 391; Thomson, The Exotic and the Beautiful, 304.

With 65 plates, including one folding and 10 coloured aquatint costume plates, 9 engravings in the text, numerous tables including some folding, and a very large folding map. Some scattered paperspotting, one or to small repairs to last page of first volume and to map, tiny lack of paper in margin of one plate, a few red inkspots to the folding plate. Finely bound in nineteenth or early-twentieth century half calf, gilt flat backs, marbled sides, with booksellers' ticket of 'Boekhandel O.B.U.Z. Weltevreden' to inside front cover of first volume. First edition. A very valuable description of Java, extremely well documented and illustrated, that hardly needs any further recommendation. Raffles, lieutenant-governor of Java during British rule from 1811 to 1816 and founder of Singapore, is acknowledged as a man of great influence on the history of Southeast Asia. More than only a history he gives a description of Java in all its aspects: geographical situation, native inhabitants, agriculture, manufactures, commerce, character of the inhabitants, ceremonies, languages, religion, etc.
