Reseña del editor

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.
