In this time the island was colonized by Britain, the Netherlands, Malaysia and Portugal. Percival accomplished with his book a very special account of a journey. He does not only describe the flora and fauna, he also dedicated a capture to the policy of Ceylon in his time. Originally released in 1803. |
