""Airs, Duets, Etc. In The Law Of Java: A Play, In Three Acts"" is a book written by George Colman and Henry Rowley Bishop, originally published in 1822. The book is a play that takes place in Java, an island in Indonesia, and is divided into three acts. The story follows the character of Captain Manly, who is sent to Java to negotiate a treaty with the local sultan. Along the way, he falls in love with the sultan's daughter, but their love is forbidden due to their cultural differences. The play includes several musical pieces, such as airs and duets, which add to the overall dramatic effect of the story.
