Beskrivelse af Notes On Ceylon And Its Affairs
Notes On Ceylon And Its Affairs: During A Period Of Thirty-Eight Years, Ending In 1855 is a book written by James Steuart and published in 1862. The book provides a comprehensive account of the author's experiences and observations during his time in Ceylon (now known as Sri Lanka) from 1817 to 1855. Steuart was a British civil servant who served as the colonial secretary of Ceylon during this period. His book covers a wide range of topics related to the history, politics, economy, society, and culture of Ceylon. He provides detailed descriptions of the natural beauty of the island, its flora and fauna, and the various ethnic and religious communities that lived there.Steuart also discusses the challenges of governing a diverse and complex society like Ceylon, particularly in the context of British colonial rule. He provides insights into the political and administrative structures of the colonial government, the role of the British in shaping Ceylon's economy and society, and the interactions between the colonial authorities and the local population.Overall, Notes On Ceylon And Its Affairs is an important historical document that provides a unique perspective on the colonial history of Ceylon and the impact of British rule on the island and its people. It is a valuable resource for historians, scholars, and anyone interested in the history and culture of Sri Lanka.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
