Monumental Java (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Monumental Java If this book needs an apology, it is one to myself for taking the public at large into the confidence of cherished recollections. The writing was a diversion from studies in a quite different direction and letting my pen go, while living again the happy hours I spent, between arduous duties, with the beautiful monuments of Java's past, I did nothing but seek my own pleasure. Should it turn out that my personal impressions, given in black and white, please others too - so much the better. In any case they must be taken for what they are: a beguilement of lone moments of leisure. Whoever find them readable, they will not satisfy, I hope, a certain class of critics, those, I mean, who extend the paltry rule of mutual admiration, nul naura de l'esprit que nous et nos amis, to any field they claim their own and "of whom to be dispraised were no small praise."
