(8vo) 21.5x13 cm (8½x5¼"), period calf, spines tooled in gilt, raised bands, morocco lettering pieces, page edges stained red. John Murray, 1830.

The desirable second edition of Thomas Raffles' important history of Java, with the important atlas, which came out some 15 years later from a different publisher, and is quite scarce. The atlas includes eight (of the original ten) hand-colored aquatints portraying natives in different dress; depictions of temples and other edifices; renderings of tools, weapons, agricultural implements, statues, and more. The large folding map of Java is detailed and significant - it has repairs in the margin, some foxing and offset. Thomas Stamford Raffles, British colonial agent cum Imperial statesman and later founder of modern Singapore, was instrumental in dislodging the island of Java from Dutch rule and in imposing British authority in the region.

Condition

Text volumes with scuffing to covers, armorial bookplates which have foxed and offset; atlas with some wear to covers, light foxing within, staining to a few plates; very good.
