Description: ISBN10: 8120613724, ISBN13: 9788120613720, [publisher: Laurier Books Ltd. /AES] Hardcover New Delhi : Asian Educational Services, 2000. Hardcover. 314 pp.- The period of the history cf Ceylon which is covered by the present work has been already dealt with by me in another book which, inasmuch as it was addressed primarily to the people of that country, assumed in the reader a degree of knowledge which no one who has not resided there for many years can have, and was burdened with a minuteness of detail which, however novel and interesting to the local student, cannot but weary, if not repel, the general reader. And yet the story of the Portuguese in Ceylon is of more than local interest, for it depicts for us a characteristic phase of the beginning of European expansion in the East. A hundred and fifty three years after the Portuguese first landed in Ceylon they were expelled from the country, leaving the gloomy word Failure writ large over all their actions. That however was not all, for they left the Sinhalese a broken race, with their ancient civilisation brought to the verge of ruin, and their scheme of life well-nigh destroyed. In 1796 the British flag was unfurled over the country; and though perhaps the old romance of life has gone, never again to return, a material prosperity and a personal security such as have not been known before have grown up under its protection. English text. Condition : as new. Condition : very good copy. ISBN 9788120613720. Keywords : HISTORY, colonialism [Amsterdam, Netherlands] [Publication Year: 2000]
