Eleven Years In Ceylon: Comprising Sketches Of The Field Sports And Natural History Of That Colony And An Account Of Its History And Antiquities Volume Vol. 2nd

About the Book: - The author has been portraying beautiful scenery of Ceylon, its mild climate, rich vegetation, and some of its valuable natural productions, have already been made known to the British public. The immense consequence of this island, from its position, and the harbor of Trinkomalee, could never have been overlooked; so long as the British crown holds sway in India, or British merchants shall trade to the East, its importance can hardly be overrated: now, however, not only are the resources of this country, its most remote valleys and elevated plains, better known to Europeans; but the history of its inhabitants and of the island, its former state and late improvement, equally excite curiosity and demand attention. The book is the product of extensive study of Ceylon. Its history, culture, customs and tradition and God-gifted natural beauty have been compiled in both volumes of the book in such a manner that generates a good amount of interest among the readers, researchers and historians.
