Descrizione

About The Book -: The object of the following work is to describe India and Ceylon as they are to-day. But to make clear the existing condition of a country, and to account for it, the past must be constantly recognized. Therefore, at every stage of the this work the historical antecedents have been summoned, and made to do duty as interpreters of the existing India and Ceylon. My plan of travel required a journey to nearly all the large places, and to many of the more obscure, throughout the empire. Landing in Bombay, and going across the peninsula to Madras, I proceeded to Ceylon, and went into the interior as far as Kandy, the ancient capital. On embarking from Colombo I Landed in India again, this time near its southern extremity, and proceeded northwest ward to Mysore. For all statistical information my chief reliance has been the full tabular reports issued at Calcutta by the departments of the Indian government. For important suggestions while this work was in manuscript, and for special help during its passage through the press.
