Add to basketA Journey to Java by M. McMillan, published in London in 1914 by Holden & Hardingham, is a travel narrative describing the author's voyage to and experiences in Java during the late colonial period. Written in an engaging and observant style, the book recounts the sea journey to the Dutch East Indies and explores the island's landscapes, cities, and rural districts. McMillan provides detailed impressions of Batavia (modern Jakarta), volcanic scenery, tropical vegetation, plantations, and native villages.The narrative reflects early twentieth-century European perspectives, combining personal anecdote with commentary on local customs, religion, social life, and colonial administration. Like many travel accounts of the era, it mixes admiration for Java's natural beauty with observations shaped by imperial attitudes. Today, the work offers insight not only into Java under Dutch rule but also into contemporary British travel writing and cultural assumptions of the period.Boards are a little bumped with some wear on the edges of the spine and a small ink stain. There is a bookplate and a small inscription on the front endpapre as well as tape to the endpapers. Some cracking evident at the half title page.
