The Story Of Lanka Outlines Of The History Of Ceylon From The Earliest Times To The Coming Of The Portuguese

The aim of the book is to help in teaching history. This little discourse tells the Story of Lanka as briefly and simply as it could be possible. The author has tried to omit everything that was not essential to a right understanding of the course of events, and have borne in mind always that pupils in the primary stage cannot be expected to show the same interest and intelligence as ‘children of a larger growth’. And any capable teacher should be able to separate the legendary from what is purely historical. The Tamil invasion during the reign of Vikrama Bahu III and at the time of the other rulers subsequently have discussed when the Portuguese came to Ceylon. The writer has expressed his views about the reign of different rulers of Lanka and highlights the darkness of the period. The book is the product of the extensive study of Lanka. The subject is quite interesting to make it good for all. Louis Edmund Blaze, JP, OBE, BA was a Sri Lankan educationist and the founder and principal of Kingswood College, Kandy. On 4 May 1891 Blaze opened 'The Boys High School' on Pavilion Street in the centre of Kandy, with eleven pupils. He modelled the school on the traditional English Public School system, even naming the four houses at the school: Eton; Harrow; Winchester and Rugby. As the school did not qualify for government assistance, Blaze had to hand over the struggling institution to the Methodist Mission in July 1894. He was responsible for introducing rugby to schools in Ceylon, having learnt the game and the rules whilst he was teaching in India, he started coaching his pupils in the sport from the year the school was established.
