During the time of a sojourn in Ceylon the author had more opportunities than fall to the lot of the ordinary traveller of becoming acquainted with its many beauties, and of observing the daily life and customs of its people. The subject of the book explores that the place is a paradise upon earth. Hundreds of miles of coffee with its fragrant flowers and its ruddy fruit, thousands of acres of the most delicious tea, magnificent landscape and forest scenery, glorious festoons of graceful creepers, aromatic shrubs, gorgeous flowers, the glades bright with flashing birds and colorful butterflies, the rivers spangled with gems and gold, on its shores the goodliest pearls of the merchantman. The book is the product of extensive study of natural beauties of the Ceylon. There is no statement in the book to which exception may justly be taken. The book is good for those who have special likings for nature and its beauties.
