Ceylon; an Account of the Island Physical, Historical, and by Tennent
"Ceylon; an Account of the Island Physical, Historical, and" by James Emerson Tennent is a two-volume encyclopedic work published in 1859. This comprehensive study explores the island's geology, climate, natural history, and ancient civilizations. Drawing on research from numerous collaborators including naturalists, botanists, and scholars, Tennent examines everything from elephants and flora to Buddhist monuments and ruined cities. The work challenged prevailing assumptions about Ceylon's relationship to mainland India, combining physical geography
with historical chronicles to create an ambitious portrait of this remarkable island. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
