Overview

Excerpt from Notes on Ceylon and Its Affairs, During a Period of Thirty-Eight Years, Ending in 1855: To Which Are Appended Some Observations on the Antiquity of Point De Galle and on the Pearl Fishery Some of the Notes on passing events, from which this Volume is compiled, have already appeared in print at Colombo but as they extend over a period in the history of Ceylon, during which important changes in its system of government have been on trial, their re-appearance, with several others printed for gratuitous circulation in the Island, may not be unaccept able to the inhabitants, although not of sufficient interest for publication. Worcester, 1862. Note - Some repetitions in the first Papers may be objected to but, as the Governors of Ceylon were so frequently changed, they were unavoidable.
