8 Years Wanderings In Ceylon PDF Download

Excerpt from Eight Years Wanderings in Ceylon Nearly twenty years ago, when settled in the island of Ceylon, I wrote this book. The lapse of this interval of time has produced many important changes Ceylon has progressed, and is become one of our most prosperous colonies. My work published in 1855, closed with these words For me Ceylon has always had a charm, and I shall ever retain a vivid interest in the colony. I trust that a new and more prosperous era has now commenced, and that Ceylon, having shaken off the incubus of mismanagement, may, under the rule of a vigorous and enterprising governor, arrive at that prosperity to which she is entitled by her capabilities.
