Eight Years' Wanderings In Ceylon is a travelogue written by Samuel White Baker, an English explorer and adventurer who spent eight years exploring the island of Ceylon (now Sri Lanka) in the mid-19th century. The book is a detailed account of his experiences, observations, and adventures during his travels across the island, including his encounters with the local people, their customs, religion, and way of life. Baker's journey takes him through the dense jungles, across the rugged mountains, and along the pristine coastline of Ceylon. He describes the natural beauty of the island, its flora and fauna, and the challenges he faced in navigating through the wilderness. He also provides insights into the political and social conditions of the island during his time, including the impact of British colonialism on the local population.The book is divided into chapters, each focusing on a particular region or aspect of Ceylon. Baker's vivid descriptions and detailed observations make the book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history, culture, and geography of Sri Lanka. Eight Years' Wanderings In Ceylon is a classic travelogue that captures the spirit of adventure and exploration that characterized the Victorian era.A population of some millions wholly dependent upon the supply of rice for their existence would be thrown into sudden starvation by the withdrawal of the water. Thus have the nations died out like a fire for lack of fuel. This cause will account for the decay of the great cities of Ceylon. The population gone, the wind and the rain would howl through the deserted dwellings, the white ants would devour the supporting beams.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
