Sinopsis

First published in 1952, Ceylon is a one-volume history of Ceylon, primarily intended for the non-Ceylonese reader who has no special knowledge of Asia. People, places, and dates have been kept to a minimum in the book. The focus has been on the evolution of a nation and the ideas which have influenced its growth.

The volume outlines the history ranging from pre-historic period through independence in 1948. Beginning with a brief introduction of Ceylon and its people, the author discusses the arrival of the Sinhalese; Tamil invasions; Portuguese and Dutch period; the British conquest from 1795–1815; Kandyan War, Colebrooke Commission and Lord Torrington’s Administration; and the development, consolidation, and the struggle for independence. He concludes with a short essay on Ceylon and the future. This book will appeal to anyone with an interest in the history of Asia and to students and researchers of Asian studies and history.
