Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis furnishes a survey of Portuguese rule over the northern , western and south-western plains of Ceylon from 1617 to 1638. The first chapter surveys the sources utilized and makes an assessment of previous historical writing on the subject. It also contains a brief chistorical introduction outlining Portuguese activity in Ceylon from 1505 to 1616. The three events that demarcate the period under consideration from the orevious era, namely the rebellion of Nikapitiya Bandara, the first treaty of peace between the Portuguese and the Highland kingdom of Kandy and the Portuguese conquest of the kingfom of Jaffna are examined in detail in the second chapter which traces political history up to 1623. The third chapter is exclusively concerned with events in Portuguese Ceylon during the captain generalship of Constantino de Sa de Noronha (second term 1623-1630).The survey of political history, and of the economic and social reasons which underlay political decisions is continued up to the Portuguese defeat at Gannoruwa in 1638 in the fourth chapter. The administrative superstructure established by the Portuguese in Ceylon and the armed forces, the ultimate basis of Portuguese power formed the subject of the fifth chapters while in the next are considered the principal sources of revenue and the probable revenue and expenditure of the Portuguese state in Ceylon. The seventh chapter deals with missionary activity and relates it to Portuguese political fortunes while the main themes of the study are summed up in the conclusion.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ceylon and the Portuguese: 1505 1658 The period of the history of Ceylon which is covered by the present work has been already dealt with by me in another book which, inasmuch as it was addressed primarily to the people of that country, assumed in the reader adegree of knowledge which no one who has not resided there for many years can have, and was burdened with a minuteness of detail which, however novel and interesting to the local student, cannot but weary, if not repel, the general reader. And yet the story of the Portuguese in Ceylon is of more than local interest, for it depicts for us a characteristic phase of the beginning of European expansion in the East. A hundred and fifty three years after the Portuguese first landed in Ceylon they were expelled from the country, leaving the gloomy word Failure writ large over all their actions. That however was not all, for they left the Sinhalese a broken race, with their ancient civilisation brought to the verge of ruin, and their scheme of life well-nigh destroyed.
