Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Ceylon: Sketches of Ceylon Life in the Olden Time The abode of this old patriarch would have furnished a study for a lover of the antique. Everything seemed in keeping with his long white beard. The doors and windows, the couches and three-legged table, all were hoary with years. Even the atmosphere had a musty smell about it, as though it had been keeping him company ever since he was a. Little boy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mr. Capper, in his excellent sketches entitled "Old Ceylon," gives us many examples of the truth of what I have alleged above, the result of my own experience. "In India," says Mr. Capper, "the way to justice, open though it is intended to be to all, becomes so overgrown by rank bribery and extortion, that the poor ryot has small chance of passing the threshold. The very attempt to do so often subjects him to cruel and relentless persecution." Naturally the Cinghalese are a litigious race. They are men of chatter, infinite chatter and small action, and the delays and uncertainties of our English system of law suit them exactly. Legal proceedings have been known to be instituted in Ceylon in cases involving no larger stake than one-fourth part of a cocoa-nut tree, or the sixteenth share of a profitless paddy-field on the side of a bleak and stony hill. --The National Indian Association

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sketches of Ceylon and India: From the Travel Notes of a Russian is the English translation, a long-felt desideratum, of the report originally written in Russian and published in 1878 by Professor Ivan Minayev on his first trip to Ceylon, India and Nepal in 1874-75. Of the three foreign trips, the first trip of Ivan Minayev to the East is particularly interesting for Orientalists. This trip was important both for the scholar himself and for the development of Indology as a whole. This report contains not only detailed information on archaeological discoveries and description of architectural and historical monuments but a spate of interesting observations and conclusions related to the daily life of the peoples inhabiting these countries. Minayev’s personal pieces of evidence of those distant times, based on the stable academic foundation, unlike various contemporary travelogues that abound in distorted judgments and biased observations, are indeed very rare and hence one cannot overestimate their value.
