Ad 1: The book is set up as a conversation between Day, Dawn, Evening and Night during a trip to Java. The first three rejected religion and reasoned scientifically, the fourth made vain attempts to defend Christianity with cultural and social arguments. He strongly opposed the introduction of Christianity in Indonesia. (.) The book first appeared in 1854 in installments under a pseudonym. The publisher Jacobus Hazenberg, attacked from all sides, did not dare to continue after the first issue. The book was subsequently published by Frans Günst 67570043
