"Ceylon; an Account of the Island Physical, Historical, and" by James Emerson Tennent is a two-volume encyclopedic work published in 1859.

Drawing on research from numerous collaborators including naturalists, botanists, and scholars, Tennent examines everything from elephants and flora to Buddhist monuments and ruined cities.
