A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Princess Mattah-D jarri was bom inK aliC handi, a kampong, or native village, situated high upon the side of one of the symmetrical cones which compose a volcanic range running through the southeastern portion of the Island of Java, called the Teng gers. The word Teng gers, an abbreviation of the Javanese word ung eng ger, expresses the wondering surprise and admiration excited by the loveliness and grandeur of the view spread before you. This particular cone is, perhaps, the most remarkable volcano in theE astI ndian A rchipelago, attributable in part to the peculiar formation of its crater, and the smooth and gradual declivity of its sides, broken by horizontal ridges of jagged and naked rock which extend around it at regular intervals from base to siunmit. Between these bleak protuberances, rich plateaus and fertile slopes of vast dimensions support the most glowing and luxuriant vegetation, constantly refreshed and nourished by multitudes of pearly streams that spread their moisture through the porous earth as they gurgle down from the snows and rains above. A round and on the base, immense plantations of sugar, rice, cotton, and cinnamon alternate with extensive groves of cocoanut, banana, and palm.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
