The author of this discourse delved deep into the valley, the river, the forest and the meadow of Ceylon to know its cultural heritage. He took a long journey on foot across the length and breadth of the Island. A modern Dutch account of Ceylon, now that island is become an English colony, cannot fail to bei n t e r e s t i n g t o E n g l i s h r e a d e r s ,independently of the curious facts and singular adventures detailed by the writer. 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. There is no statement in the book to which exception may justly be taken. Single illustration requires a word of explanation. The book is proved to be handy for readers and researchers.
