The Journal of the Manchester Geographical Society, 1906, Vol. 22 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Journal of the Manchester Geographical Society, 1906, Vol. 22 To enable us to follow this better, let us look again at the map of Ceylon. We see Colombo, the modern capital, Galle, Nuwara. Eliya, Kandy among the mountains, and tea plantations. Further north, in the plain country, there are, here and there, irrigation reservoirs, or tanks, as they are called, and paddy, or rice fields. Now let us take our retrospective glance, and compare the Ceylon we have seen with the Ceylon of years ago.
