The author of this book wants to explore new avenues in the history of Ceylon. It is a subject about which many of us can hardly be said to be burdened with much knowledge. We know a great deal about the history of Europe and England. But of the elements of Ceylon geography and history they are in blissful ignorance. It is scarcely creditable to remain in such profound ignorance of the history of motherland and to be so indifferent to our past and surroundings. It is great loss, for not only is the history of Ceylon among the oldest, most interesting and fascinating in the world, going back twenty-four centuries, but no people can break with its past as we are trying to do. Rich treasures of History, Ethnology, Folklore, Botany, Geology, await the explorer in every part of the Island. Revised with maps and illustrations, the text of the book is very interesting and immensely good for general readers.
