The value of the work is also enhanced by the consideration that the wor ks publ i s hed des cr i be di s t r i ct sbordering on the sea coast only, or of general statistics. The book is the product of extensive study of Ceylon cultural heritage. The subject of the book is very interesting and delicate.
